yesterday on the TV someone said that folk will live for up to 1000 years. Millions born today will be centenarians. I think I'd get bored after 90! been there worn the T shirt.....I'd rather have quality than quantity.
With the population rising at such a rate we'd have no garden space!

Would it be optimistic of me to sow some seeds of a bristle cone pine?

How ridiculous, just as if a person could live that long, it would be physically impossible and could never happen.
I don't even want to reach 100 let alone 1000.

Apparently it's all to do with the rapid development in Stem-cell tech. I wouldn't mind but I'd like to stay 21......on second thoughts 1081 was a good year ;D

I thought about this again this morning and can you imagine how the planet would be if we all started living over one hundred years old (let alone nearer a thousand) ? It would collapse, it could never sustain it  Just imagine how the planet will be in fifty or one hundred years time ..... the natural landscape ..... mans intellect ...... It won't be good  |
