“…In 1978, Josephson et al [84], [85], making use of programmed stimulation techniques by means of ventricular catheters, were able to clearly detect VLPs in human subjects. Thereafter, other electrophysiological studies determined that the appearance of such potentials was directly correlated with the risk of ventricular tachycardia and, eventually, with sudden cardiac death due to late activation of ischemic regions around a necrotic area; all this can easily give rise to reentry mechanisms [86], [87].…”

Think about the above lines taken from the Old Testament: At 130 years of age, Adam begat a son and at 800 he kept going, quitting this earthly life at 930. These numbers surpass by far the limits our current experience teaches us, however, perhaps a life span into the hundreds of years is ? What if, in the future, science were to do away with disease? What then would cause people to die: accidents, killings, wars? How old would old age be? Aging has always been a hot topic for research (with considerable quackery, too). For example, animals with a slow metabolism tend to live longer than those with a fast metabolism. Compare the average life span of a mouse with that of a turtle. Apparently, meditators are able to slow their metabolism down [1].
