Guest guest Posted October 14, 2002 Report Share Posted October 14, 2002 " The number of people older than 100 in America has been increasing by more than 7 percent per year since the '50s. The fastest-growing group of drivers in Florida is over 85. " This is a VERY concerning thing Francesca. As the number of older people increases, the number of people with Parkinson and Alzheimer increases also. Dr. Dharma Singh Kausa in his famous book Brain Longevity (in English) and the conclusions he reaches are freaking! What would happen to the social security system? What these people would do in an very advanced age? We need do something to retard the ageing of the Brain, like taking Deprenyl and avoid extreme stress. I don't want to give work to the others when I get so much older ... Cheers. " Two anti-aging researchers have bet each other what will amount to millions on payoff that at least one person alive today will live to 150. " I don't belive the human lifespan will be so great for two reasons: The CR should be started in a child of 10 years old to reach this age. No child would do this )) The maximum will be certainly 140 and no more than that. " Ray Kurzweil, a member of the National Inventors Hall of Fame and winner of the National Medal of Technology " This was the guy with the most extreme ideas abaout the future. But justified ones. He believes (for example) that we could SCAN A BRAIN AND DO A DOWNLOAD OF IT TO A COMPUTER... cHEERS gANDHI. __________________________________________________________________________ Encontre sempre uma linha desocupada com o Discador BOL! http://www.bol.com.br/discador Ainda não tem AcessoBOL?
