What a gift it must be to have such a long and memorable life. RIP Kirk.

I don't know... lol...

Age is directly related to suffering.  At 103 I can't imagine he was free of any pain, needed help doing everything, and probably could not think straight.  Kind of a constant waking dream.

Our bodies are currently designed (by evolution) to last about 30 years.   Medicine has stopped natural selection, so our natural (medicine free) lives won't go much higher, even with new ideas about health.  Certainly not to 103.
