So you want to live forever...

Lots of people have this dream of living forever. Well, they should be more specific with that dream because I'm convinced that most people forget something crucial. I'll let you guess what that is.

My Dad is 91 years old since last September. His eyes are failing. Also his memory, legs, and arms aren't what they used to be. And since this week even his dentures are failing. Yes, go ahead and laugh, because how can dentures fail? Well, when you get old your body shrinks. And that includes your jaws. And that in turn means that your dentures won't fit any more. (Oh, right, hadn't thought of that, huh?)

Are you already on the right track to the crucial bit?

You may want to live forever if you don't get older. If you stay as healthy are you are now, or better still: if you can be like you were in your prime, let's say 23 or 25 years old. There. Gotcha. You're probably not 25 any more, so your wish comes a bit late. Think of how horrible your body will be when you're 129. Or 241. Of course you don't want to live forever like that.
