Comments on: Could We Live Forever? Or Even Come Close?

Technology, Along With Lifestyle Changes, May Extend Our Already-Increasing Lifespans

I think the test is just a come-on for a commercial web site. As another reader found out, it''s kind of silly. My answer was reasonable though, 95, but then again, all my direct relatives are still alive and my grandfather lived until 99. I could have figured that without some silly Q and A.

Skip the test.

If you do take it, don''t give your real e-mail address at the end or you''ll end up being spammed. Any bogus e-mail will work, so just use something imaginative.

My husband & I just took Dr. Perls test to caculate our
potential age span.

I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 46 years. I am in dialysis due to kidney failure and have had Rheumatoid Arthritis for ten years. In addition I have polyneuropathy and severe orthostatic hypotension. ( amazing I can sit at a computer, eh?)

My husband has a small problem with acid reflux.

Here''s the catch. We both came out within 6 months of each other. We are both going to live to be about 83.

My doctor''s would be amazed.

I found it with a quick search of Google. I don''t know why the author of the piece didn''t take the 10 seconds out of their life to do it.

So why isn''t the URL to the Dr. Perl web page posted prominently in the story or mentioned on the broadcast? Once again we have a story where they don''t bother to provide needed information. I sometimes wonder what backwater college gave degrees to these so-called journalists. I am tired of having to search all over the place to find a simple web address or other piece of information that should be provided.
