Xi caught on hot mic talking with Putin about organ harvesting and extending the life...

Would be entirely possible for everyone if wed stop hindering stem cell research and learn to grow replaceable organs. Only thing to worry about would be brain degeneration.

There's a huge problem with that plan, its called cancer. You can't outrun it and replacing organs won't solve it

what they don't understand is the life extension efforts of Xi and Putin are likely for the chosen few, particularly when it comes to organ harvesting.

In 70-80 years from now no one is going to recognize Xi or Putin? All of the last 30 years of media will be wiped out?

Maybe.

From what I've read and heard others in the biological research field say is the biggest obstacle to extending life is the unreliable transfer of DNA material during cell division. As humans and animals age the telomeres shorten which increases the likelihood of a corrupted transfer of chromosomal/ DNA information during cell division. Telomeres also prevent the cell from replicating uncontrollably. It's almost like humans and other biological life on earth have been programmed for a maximum number of cell divisions.

I remember in the OT where God placed a limit on human life at 120 years after the flood.

quote:

---

God set a potential limit of 120 years for mankind's lifespan in Genesis 6:3, when He said, "My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years". This was stated before the Great Flood as the world was growing corrupt, and the verse is interpreted by many to mean that this was the lifespan God ordained for the generation before the flood to allow them time for repentance before He brought the flood.

Telomeres are protective structures at the ends of chromosomes, composed of DNA and proteins, that prevent chromosomes from fusing and protect the genetic material from damage during cell division. Each time a cell divides, a small part of the telomere is lost, acting as a biological clock that ultimately limits a cell's lifespan by triggering cellular senescence and apoptosis. This process plays a critical role in preventing cancer by halting uncontrolled cell division, and its relationship to aging and various diseases is an active area of scientific research

I heard the Chinese version. What Xi said was about joint replacement, and the human lifespan might reach 150 years.

---

It's a known fact the CCP/China has used organ harvesting for years, and not necessarily voluntary organ donation......we must trust their noble intentions.

They don't know what they're talking about. They'll be 100 years old and senile. Waiting for their nightly pudding.

My all time favorite personal hot take: the first bicentennial is already living.

I am 46 - at 80 if I make take me out back and shoot me

suspect when you reach 70 you might want to revise those numbers

That’s one way to look at it. Another is that the 120 years was basically how much time Noah had to build the Ark.

I don’t think it matters, but it’s fun to talk about.



So, lifespans began to drastically decrease post-flood. But, you still see basically everyone living more than 120 years until Moses (which is interesting). That’s why I go with the “120 years was the deadline” interpretation. That, and the fact that literally no one lives to be 120 years old.

But I also see how it could be that the 120 is a “maxxed out potential” that none of us can reach because of mutations due to inbreeding (we all came from Noah’s sons and daughters), and because I believe that increase in sinful behavior absolutely shortens lifespans.

Like I said, I don’t see this a salvation-dependent issue. It’s just another one of those things that God gives us to chew on. Maybe just to see how we treat each other over it (like the RC/Pro/Ortho debacle that always shows our true colors).
