Re: Scientists identify pathways that extend nematode worm lifespan fivefold
#12All longevity accomplishments work better with smaller animals. The increase of the lifespan decreases with the size of the animal.
If the increase of healthy human lifespan is something like 5% that would be a huge accomplishment and nothing to sneer at.

#13Whats interesting is that according to the Bible humans lived from several hundred years to ~1000 years.
Now this article is saying "The increase in lifespan would be the equivalent of a human living for 400 or 500 years, according to one of the scientists."
Mind blown!

Also, Donald Duck has not aged a day the last 60 years. Equally interesting.

That's not interesting, because the Bible is a work of fiction, and thus not relevant to any discussions of scientific merit.

Many orthopaedists in my circle tell me that with all the office work we probably should be glad if we die with 60.
These approaches focus on cardiovascular system and general cell renewal, but I guess there are just a few more steps until immortality.

Insulin signaling (IIS) and TOR pathway (a central regulator of mammalian metabolism and physiology)

Why even type this shit. So many religious books have bullshit in it like this. Youre just a religious shill, which is probably the worst kind of shill.
