A 125-year life expectancy for human beings? I have zero desire to stick around that long. <\/p>\n

Ah, yes, you speak of a debate among scientists over human longevity. I read about it at Business Insider. Some scientists argue that the maximum age humans may live is 115 years, whereas others argue that 125 years is possible. <\/p>\n

A hundred and twenty-five years of watching Republicans and Democrats going at it? The heck with that. <\/p>\n

Living is rife with challenges, to be sure. But living a long life has its upsides. Wouldnt you want to visit your parents and other family members for a lot more years than most of us are able? Wouldnt you like to see them all at a Sunday dinner several more times than most human beings are able?<\/p>\n
