They're still in the fridge man, kids decided they wanted wings.

No bother. Just gives the ribs more time to get right with themselves. Wings are always a win in my book.

 

[Groucho]

Good stuff that. 28 though? Seems a bit young, poor that from us.

Are there any organs that continually improve over the years? Which organs are the most 'life' proof?

Not as far as I know. Even your finger nails can get fungal infections. It's all down to how you treat yourself through life but if you're genetically predisposed to a disease, you could be a marathon runner and still succumb.

The most life proof? The liver has tremendous reserve but even that is open to abuse.

It's true of all organs. If one doesn't get you, another will. Eternal life is never going to happen, as cells can only copy themselves accurately for so long. No-one, even with advancing medicine, will live to 140. 130 is about the limit of the human body.

Our natural lifespan in the wild is 28, hence why we all start to feel middle aged past 30. The bodies organs (kidneys in particular) start to slowly lose function. Your kidneys lose something like 1% of function per year past 30.

So, it's true. It's all down hill once you hit 30.

The only way we're going to beat aging is through drugs to reverse the process or replacement parts grown in a lab or built in a factory..

We won't beat ageing mate.

As for parts grown in a lab ie. cloning, the organ will take on the age of the original cell. So if you were to take a cell from my body and grow a new heart from it, it would already be 31.

In the future cells will be taken from babies at birth and whole sets of organs grown from that. Problem solved
