Near immortality?

Unless you can reset your telomeres to restart cell division (like they do in cloning experiments by exposing the cells to an electric field). Then you can live forever.[/QUOTE]

Personally, I believe life spans of 1,000 years or more are possible but the vegetative state will be required for that. The Red Wood Tree now lives an average of 1,000 years without any medical attention.

The question then would be how many would really want to live 1,000 years in the vegetative state? I'm sure our present technology is close to that possibilty.
