Ask HN: How long would people live if death from natural causes were cured?

Look into the cellular senescence of various reptiles.

Where do you draw the line between accidents and natural causes?

If one was to catch the wrong breath and get infected by a virus that eventually led to their death, would that be an accident or natural causes?

Natural causes in this case mean aging and disease. So an infection from a virus would be a natural cause.

Aren't accidents natural as well?

If 1% of people die non-naturally, people would get around 100 times as old. If it's 10% they would get 10 times older.

Natural causes in this case mean aging and disease.

Currently 120 is the limit, but studies indicate 150-160 years are possible without genetic engineering.

What I mean is that you would live forever if you don't die in an accident or violent way.

lets say where u live there is a non-natural-cause of death rate of 10 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year.

That means every year you have a 1/10,000 chance of dying, so on average people would live 10,000 years
