Death no longer becomes us...

Hey, I'll take 'em if they look like Demi Moore.
Research has shown that loss of brain function is attributed to inactivity and/or disease. New neurons can be formed even in extreme old age when a person is actually using their brain. That is why Nuns statistically have larger brains and a lower instance of neural degeneration than regular people. Nuns make it a point to learn new things all the time. Plus new research with stem cells and other things is looking promising in the quest to regrow damaged neural cells.

You may have a point, there. The nuns I knew always found new and ingenious ways to torture and humiliate us students.

As doug mentioned - our bodies were created to live indefinately...there are reports of people living 4-950+ years in ancient texts.
