On the other hand, Psalms 90:10 rather casually puts the normal lifespan at 70-80 years, just about where it is now. So if medicine is doing us so much good, howcome people aren't living any longer (or at least, dying of old age later) than they did in biblical times?

the first 150-year-old is quite likely also to be the first 1,000-year-old. People in ancient times lived to be near 1000 years old.
To: saquin
That's scary. Imagine having someone like Hitler or Saddam or Osama bin Ladden around for 1000 years.

Blech. This life going on forever would be hideous ... and I have a comfortable and happy life.

Good grief...I will have to print this article out for my husband...he also thinks like this and has for a long time...he is just an average guy, no scientific training of any sort...but he has always believed that the human body, is like a car, and that it can always be fixed...he does believe that we should be able to live at least a couple of hundred years, and in relatively good health...
Yes, I am married to and live with a whacko....he has a lot of odd beliefs...its never dull around here, thats for sure...
To: saquin
Nothing wrong with dying...I just want to die last.

I would be bored silly after the first couple hundred years.

I'm going to die in a tequila drinking contest in 3734. Don't feel bad for me though. I brought it all upon myself.

The immortality recipe is much easier and does not involve either gargantuan amounts of money or gene therapy; more, it has been available for ages.
Here it is pro bono, albeit FR might charge small royalty from nonmembers:
If one recalls all the dead people one has personally known, one would see that most of them were good people, and that one would normally be hard-pressed to remember a death of a scoundrel. From here it necessarily follows that the scoundrels are either immortal (since they do not die) or at very least enjoy unusual longevity.
Since becoming a scoundrel [if the reader is not one already] is manifestly within the powers of health-conscious person, it is self-evident that the solution to immortality quest is at hand, and available. QED.

The day people can live to be 1000 is the day I put a gun to my head. 5 minutes of Hitlery Rodaham in my face is already pushing that, but 1000 years? I`ll take a pass on that hell.

Well, if this happens, there's gonna be a lot of
old people around..not just in age but in mental process. The world will seem a more dreary place.

I'd love to spend some time with my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great gandchildren. All 600 of them.

I may be wrong, but I think the calendar used in Biblical dates is different from the one we use today. We hear about people living to be 900 and something years old...but that probably translates to, oh, I don't know...50? Less?

People living to the age of 1000 years?
This is NOT to be desired.
