I want the forever life Jesus promises.
I just can't take this shit anymore.
Every day is a gift from God................
There you have it.
Male. My brain would go nuts in a female body. Too much to play with.
I didn't know it was a prophecy back when I was saying it.
I figure that, with my luck, the day AFTER I DIE they will come up with a drug to extend life indefinitely and return your youthful looks as well.............
A cousin of mine is in his mid 80s. His mother receently died at 106 and one of his aunts (mine also) lived to be 102. Years ago he remarked that he hoped he had a lot of my aunt’s genes. Now it looks like he got them as well as his mother’s.
Good luck in the gene pool is great as long as the last few years are healthy ones. Otherwise, it’s probably better to go out with your boots on.
“It’s also amazing that there are about 200 types of cells in the body, a total of 30 trillion cells, and all are aging at roughly the same rate.”
And that each one of these cells is like a miniature city in complexity with nanomachines buzzing around all over the place in a coordinated fashion driven by a survival instinct whose source is a complete mystery.

Thanks for the post.
We’ve had a few more like it. The best ingredients I’ve heard of for help on the cellular level are NR, NMN, sulforaphane. The last molecule discussed here was fisetin. No conclusive results on that.
Do you want to go thru another lifetime of working again?
No, I don’t remember them. I first read Heinlein about 40 years ago and often thought that it would make a great TV series (too long for a movie). It could be setup somewhat like “The Fugitive” was, with a different lifetime in each episode interspersed with space and time travel and Lazarus’ stories/memories.
I found “Glory Road” in my bookcase but I don’t recall reading it. It’s likely a book my wife read. ;o)
Anyway, I plan to pull the others up on my Kindle.
They weren’t written in sequence, so there are a few inconsistencies among the novels. There’s even a ‘tie-in’ with some of his other novels. You’d have to be very familiar with them to notice. It is revealed that ‘Lazarus Long’ was actually ........................
