X-Message-Number: 14580 Date: Fri, 29 Sep 2000 15:43:47 +0200 From: Klaus Sames <> Subject: Limits of human life span Remark to: #14571: No limit on human lifespans? [Corbally] Nobody is able to remove soot particles out of human lung tissues, prevent scarring or replace brain cells or renal corpuscles totally (at least before development of nanotechnologies). Therefore the human lifespan is limited but their length may be open to some extend. However, some organs seem to reach their limits around 100 years of age (e.g. the eye lens, lacking cell replacement, and the elastic systems of the respiratory system).
