I've read somewhere, that with nanotechnology and the issue of life extention: one could plausably design the human body to an age of 3338 years. Once reaching that age, the body in it's present state of environment, could not physically last any longer due to nautural wear and tear. However, that amount of time would undoubtedly be enough time to learn the technology to strive beyond even that term of existence. Gina "Nanogirl" Miller
