Is there somebody who really dedicates himself to a definite theoretical period of biological aging beyond the actual biological limit? Someone must have to compare the maximum lifespan of super-centenarians with that of the longest living mammals. Comparison between various biomarkers of aging should indicate a difference in senescence for both humans and the longest living mammalian animals.

http://www.search.co...e/Bowhead_Whale is stating that 'discoveries of antique ivory spear points in living whales in 1993, 1995, 1999 and 2007 have triggered further research based on structures in the whale's eye, leading to the reliable conclusion that at least some individuals have lived to be 150–200 years old' ...

Further references: Age and Growth Estimates of Bowhead Whales ... by 'Canadian Journal of Zoology' http://onlinelibrary...39/cjz-77-4-571 referred to in Use of Microarray Biomarkers ... by 'Aging Cell' http://onlinelibrary...94.x/references

Aspartic acid racemization can be one common biomarker for Bowhead Whales (Balaena mysticetus) and humans to calculate one 200 years lifespan that is currently existing for whales while being only theoretical for humans. Aspartic Acid Racemization in Tooth Enamel ... by 'PNAS' http://www.pnas.org/...8/2891.abstract is stating that aspartic acid racemization provides a biochronological tool for assessing the age of living mammals.

Now, someone has to identify other common biomarkers for the various damages of aging in whales and humans. Then a theory should be established where biochemical changes in the performance of those biomarkers will be identified in a rejuvenation therapy model for a theoretical human lifespan of 200 years.
