The primary obstacle to basically living forever in a human body here on earth is actually not what you might think.
The problem is almost entirely psychological. In other words you look around you at what has already been in human existence.
For example, I can say to you that when I was a child in the 1950s the previous generation (born from 19??00 to 1930 about half of all children died before age 20.
Then also life expectancy in 1900 was about 60 years of age with most people dying between birth and 30 to 60 years of age.
However, now all this has changed to where "If you live to 30 you likely will see 90 years of age."
However, this is also changing to over time: "If you live to 30 you will see 100".
This is where the future goes now.
Then "If you live to be 30 you will see 150."
Then "If you live to be 30 you will see 200."
There is really no real limit to how long a human potentially can live at all.
Why?
Because of Technological advances in Medicine.
For example, in my own life if I wasn't married to my present wife I likely would have died at age 50 when I got a heart virus. Why?
Because before I married my present wife in 1995 I didn't have health care insurance and if I didn't have health care insurance when I was 50 years old I surely would have died for about 100 reasons or more.
I was 50 when I almost died in 1998 and 1999. Then I wasn't feeling well after this and then my physical Trainer said, "I think your symptoms point to hypothyroidism. She said, "Get a T3 and T4 Blood test to see if you are hypothyroid. I did and she was right. then I started taking Armour Thyroid and my brain felt like it was 20 years old again and my hands which had been cold most of my life were warm again.
Then in 2020 I was given a defibrillator pacemaker which regulated my heart beats and would also bring me back to life if my heart stopped too. (Which my cardiologist says it hasn't had to do yet) because they keep a record of all the things that happen to your heartbeats and other stuff automatically. It's sort of like having a miniature Apple Computer above your heart.
Then in 2022 I believed I was dying from Atrial Fibrillation. I went into the hospital and they gave me a cardio Conversion (which is basically a Taser to your heart to stop atrial Fibrillation). In my case it worked. It other cases sometimes the shock just kills people but I was the right sort of person to survive all this I guess. Then the doctors told me that I would die if I didn't begin taking Amiodarone.
So, even though I felt lobotomized for 2 weeks time from the Amiodarone and couldn't drive a car eventually my body got used to the Amiodarone and I have now lived almost 3 years this month since being in the hospital the last time in Fall of 2022.
So, at this point I seriously believe almost anything is possible medically because most people in my physical condition likely would have died at age 50 without health care insurance to begin with.
Also, my wife's uncle was a cardiologist so she is my medical representative because she knows much more about medicine than I do because my family didn't like to go to doctors at all.
So, it could be said that my wife (a brilliant woman) has kept me alive being my medical Advocate since I was 50 years old. Her biological mother passed away recently at age 95 also, so my present wife likely has longevity too like her biomom did also.
So, how long can someone live these days?
As long as they have the medical devices and operations that keep them alive and they have a good diet and exercise.
In other words, you can presently live as long as you want to and can financially afford to.
So, what I'm presently saying is that there is no real limit upon how long you might live as long as there is the technology to do this and you are willing to use that technology to stay alive.
By God's Grace
