Research on worms suggests human lifespan can be extended
Aging process could be variable
Monday, October 03, 2005

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.

"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter
