In the largest study of its kind, scientists have discovered what keeps certain species from aging — possibly opening the door to longer lifespans for humans.
An international team, led by researchers from Penn State and Northeastern Illinois University, says they’ve unlocked the secrets of aging among reptiles and amphibians worldwide. Across 77 different species from around the globe, researchers found some with extremely long lifespans, lasting for more than a century. While some might think these animals are just sitting at the top of their respective food chains, the team found there’s more to it than that. Some of the creatures living on Earth simply aren’t aging at all!

If it is a natural phenomenon I will accept it but if Science has tampered and created this situation that would be disastrous. Imagine the world with ageless human beings. As it is science is only making human beings exist and not live with all complications created by therapies.

Since I have not heard of this study in the mainstream media, I am not easily giving into it. Even if it is true, I believe a lot of animals live for a long time, for instance, it has been found that sea turtles live up to 150 years, the average age being 80 years. Bowhead whales are said to live up to 200 years.

With all these new breakthroughs involving age happening all the time, I wonder is it just a matter of time before we reach immortality?
