an end to grey hair and crows-feet could be just 10 years away after scientists showed it is possible to reverse ageing in animals.
Using a new technique which takes adult cells back to their embryonic form, US researchers at the Salk Institute in California, showed it was possible to reverse ageing in mice, allowing the animals to not only look younger, but live for 30 per cent longer. Maybe those lifetime memberships will pay off, big time.

What's really moved the needle for "life expectancy" is childbirth kills a lot less woman, and a lot more infants and children survive to adulthood. But a man who reached age 18 without dying back in 1776 was most likely going to life into his 60's or 70's. |

A commonly used and readily available drug to prevent aging may already exit.

What source are you using...? 40 to 50 years old was considered to be elderly about that time in history. The average age from 1750 to 1800 was 36 years old just saying. |

The average age from 1750 to 1800 was 36 years old just saying. That's a common misconception. 40 or 50 wasn't any different than it is today. In 1776 you were a middle-aged person, and in 2016 you are still a middle-aged person. People fail to understand what life expectancy at birth actually is. In 1900 life expectancy was 45. That didn't mean that 45 was "old". The reason the age was skewed so low is a lot of woman died in childbirth, and a lot of infants didn't survive to adulthood. Childbirth was so bad, that once upon a time males had a longer life expectancy than females. Only over the last century has this reversed, due to the fact that most woman now survive giving birth to children. Lots of people who actually made it to adulthood, survived in their 60's, 70's, 80's or even 90's. |

I have read more than a couple of books about this, and a few articles, and the supposition that people commonly lived beyond 60 is not supported by historical data. Life expectancy did not start to increase substantially from the Enlightenment until the 19th century, and has effectively doubled since the 1770's . There is nothing I have found to substantiate that "lots of people lived to be over 60" . It was not all that common to make it to 65 in the 1930's hence the social security retirement age. So please cite a source so I can verify it. |

Its interesting that they are tinkering with this all the while they are worried about the population explosion which is happening now. Hell its been happening.
When people can reverse aging and live much longer , how will that impact society , and the economy? Not in a good way I am pretty sure. |

Either being an intellectual revolutionary is known to increase your life, or the genetic disposition of "how long do people live" has remained fairly constant. We can of course point to technology and medicine that is available to the masses today that helps increase the "average" life expectancy, but genetically, we are no different than we were in the 18th Century. |

Caleb Finch covered the topic of life expectancy really well and why people did not live on average to be in their 60's or older. It was not at all common to live till 40 as I said earlier untill the 19th century. A lot of it had to do with medical advances like doctors washing their hands.

Yeah and you are aware everyone one of those men were wealthy, and educated, in those days how well you lived absolutely impacted how long you lived. But of course average age and all kinda says it... We can of course say the same is true today. I don't think we are trying to make dissimilar points. I'm just pointing out that humans have a biological timer (as do all life forms). In a hypothetical vacuum, we would all live to a similar age, regardless of time period. But environmental variables effect general populations. So diseases that may have been an early death bell in the 1700's are easily attended to today. I remember reading a Nat Geo article about a rural community in the hinterlands of Russia that routinely lived to be over 100 yo, and scientists were trying to figure out why. But none the less, there does seem to be a "maximum" potential age somewhere around ~110 yo give or take and that has always been that way. Just because unknown diseases and shitty diets dragged down the averages in past eras, doesn't impact our genetic nature. Scientists could come up with a miracle drug that kept us more youthful longer, but eventually the clock runs out, you're DNA just stops reproducing. My point is, that is not effected simply by what era we live in, and I believe you'd be in agreement with that? |
