dailygalaxy.com— Everyone has assumed we age by rust. But how do you explain animals that don't age? Some tortoises lay eggs at the age of 100, there are whales that live to be 200 and clams that make it past 400 years.

What I would like is to simply not age. I would much rather live my entire life with a body that does not age, regardless of how long that lifespan is or whether or not massive injury eventually kills me.
I believe the article is citing the rapid deterioration of cells with years rather than death. There is a difference between again and death and it seems they're pinpointing the progression of cells past a certain point.

Luckily you aren't the judge as to whether humans deserve immortality or not.

I believe they were seperate statements. Some stuff lives longer then others was his point, while there are some that don't age at all eg Hydra's.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(genus)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_(genus)</a>
