Current Events > IIrc the longest age that any human has ever lived is around 121 yrs

(+) Yeah! (+)

This has stood for like 15 yrs or something like that. Any of you believe it could be broken soon, and go well beyond 121?

Why would anyone want to live even half that

If you were still very healthy , wouldn't everybody want to?

No matter how healthy you are you're not going to feel great at 60

My great Grandfather lived till 107. He was still farming the day he died in his sleep. Just fine.

I just don't want a long decay. If I get to that state I might take up skydiving lol.

107 is very rare right? like over 1 in 100 k people?

Because she may have lied and took on a relative's identity.

That record is in doubt and should not be spoken of anymore.

Most people who live to be that age aren't healthy. The human body starts to break down when your in your 70s, by the time you reach 100 chances are your frail and weak. It would be a different story if we found a way to reverse the aging process and learned how to restrengthen our bones and organs.

122, and has stood for about 25 years

yes, but not anytime soon. Some of these billionaires will pay for it if they can.

Not sure, but it's common in my Dad's side of the family.

Yep.
Jeanne Calment was born in 1875 and died in 1997, a few months after her 122nd birthday.

I believe that she is the only person that's been verified to have reached 120 years of age, though others have been claimed to have done so.

Mothers side, my great grandmother lived to 103. Which is intresting when I visited her which was in 1986 that would mean she was born in 1883. Thats wild.

My grandma is about to be 101. She's still doing just fine and is still living in her own house and can drive locally during the day.

There is still a living grandson of John Tyler (TENTH US President).
