{April 19, 2008}   Timeless Age

What would it be like to be on this earth 115 years old! Well, aparently it’s possible. Researchers are unsure of what accounts for such longevity however they’re conducting studies to determine the cause. An interesting fact brought out in this article shows just how much stronger women are than men :) ..”Only 75 living people — 64 women and 11 men — are 110 or older, according to the Gerontology Research Group of Inglewood, Calif., which verifies reports of extreme ages.” 64 vs. 11, that is crazy, can’t say I’m surprised though!!

I always said I wouldn’t want to live too long and my mother says that too. She wants to be able her whole life and not be a burden, but I think about how much knowledge and wisdom a person acquires in 115 years. That is so much time. As medicine gets increasingly more effective, I wonder what the average age of living will be.  And if we begin living longer, will be not live as much? Will be put things off thinking we will probably have more time? I’m curious to see.
