I can't remember where I saw this or read it but the worlds first 150 year old person has already been born. I was talking about it with some friends and it's still on my mind.
We all know several people live to be over 100 every year and more are living that long all the time. With all the modern medical stuff we have today and that's in the pipeline 100 year old people will become more common.
But they warned us that does not mean we will soon be watching the Super Bowl played by 75 year old pro football players. Our bodies will only take so much, at 75 we will still be old and have limits. That is the kicker here. Just think a minute. YOU reach your 75th birthday and by the time your 80 or 90 you will be in a nursing home where you will SPEND THE NEXT 70 OR 60 YEARS.
I can't seem to get that out of my head. To me that would be horrible to spend 70 years in a nursing home just being kept alive. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to die and don't want anybody else to but we all will someday. Still there should be limits. Think about the worlds population if this became commopn. There are limits on how much food we can grow, how much oil we can get, how much engery, etc, etc. The world cannot support that. It's been said that today, right now, there are more people alive walking the earth than all the people that have lived and dided before us, all the way back to Adam and Eve. To double that population would wipe it all out.

I don't think it will be common enough to cause any trouble.
Too many chemicals that are killing all of us every day.

Great point. From a personal standpoint, many of my family and friends have been tired from their illness and were ready to die.
However cold that may sound, I respect it.

They will be the first ones to live to be 150 years old.
