Well you're gonna have to weed out any genetic defects from the start, lengthen telomeres so that the shortening isn't an issue, and work on ways to make DNA transcription less likely to produce errors. Diet will be an enormous factor and will probably depend on the individual. One aging factor that will be hard to control will be damage done just as a result of metabolism (free radicals are often cited as the main source of this damage)...the basic idea being that the stuff we consume is always going to disrupt our cellular machinery at some low rate, but the damage adds up over time. And it's kind of hard to stop eating and breathing, so this will be the tough thing to overcome.

Educated guess, 150-180 years

six in one hand, half dozen in the auschwitz gas chambers

DNA damage, protein errors, and telomere length wouldn't be a huge deal outside of the cns. Everyone would have their genomes sequenced and have a reservoir of stem cells stored away.

Wtf happened to this thread over the past five pages (50 ppp).

Bowling; gtfo.

Pope; pass.

I never thought I'd say this, but what about Radio Head?

Yeah those are all pretty correctable in theory although it will take some impressive future science. Again, most worried about the metabolic damage which you can't really do a ton about. The CNS is a good point too, it'll be both tricky and crucial. No point in living to 250 if you're a vegetable by age 180. Hell, most people are gone mentally by age 90 today

don't get it

tl;dr

Boston has to be the band with the greatest drop-off from debut album to all of the rest of their work

Fadi needs to gtfo with that ****.

Seriously, outside of karak, who is going to read that?

Not that there's anything wrong with being a karak.

google reader is being retired July 1st. Best RSS readers?

Yes, it's called killing them

Is this a division sign?

Just breifly read that long ass quoted post. I suggest Omar (Fadi) be given at least a one day ban for posting that. Given his reg date, he should know better.

Pulse?

well, the upper limit hasnt changed in like, ever so i dunno.

We'll know once Ted Williams ressurects from the freezer.

Ted Williams died at age 83 in 2002.

If he comes back in July of 2013, does that make him 83? 84? Or 94?

Probably.

mgmt tho.
