Research on worms suggests human lifespan can be extended
Aging process could be variable

What will you be doing 400 years from now?
"Pushing up daisies" is the easy answer. But "doing pushups" isn't out of the question, either.
Human lifespan once seemed to have an upper limit, somewhere around 120 years. New research in worms and mice, however, suggests that the aging process is variable, subject to evolutionary pressures and perhaps to manipulation with drugs or hormone therapy.
