      Damn, that means the oldest woman who ever lived must have decided to live 22 years less than what this twit says is the human span.

          What I find particularly depressing is that even if we can continue to prolong life, the inevitability of dementia is always there

          That will be an entertaining tweet to bring up when he dies at 144-x years.

          She must have been very reckless to throw her life away like that.

          That's because she lived in an environment. Living outside space and time she would have reached 144 years without any problems - except possibly that lifespan having no meaning outside time.

          There is some suspicion the French woman who lived to 122 was actually the daughter of the woman who assumed her mother's identity. No proof and a lot of reasons to think that's untrue, but it's not 100% certain.
