What diseases run in your family, and what is the average lifespan of previous family members.

On my father's side of the family - Cancer is rampant - Avg. age = 55

On my mother's side of the family - Diabetes throughout - Avg. age = 57

I don't smoke, or eat like a pig, so I am thinking I can make it until the day before retirement.

How about you?

I also did the LifeSpan Clock

It says I will live until I am -

Normal Mode = 75

Pessimistic Mode = 70

Sadistic Mode = 45

Theoretically, if I snapped a cat's neck, ate a Twinkie and smoked a Marlboro right now, I could call it a life.

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

Hey. If I'm careful, I should make it to 74. Wait a second...my grandmother is 74. Fuck it! I'll make sure I'm out before I turn 55.

Edit: Lucky me! None of the genetic markers for any major afflictions/diseases are in my system. So, if I have kids, and they get sick, it will be their bitch of a mother who is to blame.

I always said I would live to see 100, I guess I was wrong :(

As for family diseases, on my mom's side Glaucoma and arthritis are fairly prevalent, but not all that life-threatening (aside from going blind and being achy all the time).

My dad's side is the problem - Diabetes. It's managed to take out pretty much all of his family (including him - at age 44). Needless to say, I have a high chance of developing it, but with proper nutrition it can be controlled, and there is a good chance I could live to see 100 (according to my doctor anyway). So far I've managed to stay healthy :-D


Nothing to see here, just some scrolling text...

On my father's side: cancer and heart disease. Average age at death is about 72, though my great-grandfather recently died of lung cancer at 90.

On my mom's side: Purely mental shit. Dementia, Alzheimer's, manic depression, you name it, someone in the family has it. Wheeeeeeeeeeee.

As far as the death clock goes:
Normal: 72
Pessimistic: 65
Sadistic: 38 (12 more years...they sure as fuck better be better than the last 26...)

In normal mode it said i'd live to 77. I didn't do the other too, cause I am not pessimistic nor sadistic.

The only thing that runs in my family, on both sides, is Cancer. But the only people who have gotten it are men, in their prostates, so maybe I'm ok.

As far as lifespan of my family, it's high. One of my mother's grandmothers died at 104, the other at 98. My grandparents were all in their 80s when they died, except the one who is still ticking at 78.

yeah, i got the same ages as all the girls i think 72,65 and 38

on my mum's side, my grandma is still going at 90, her older sister just died, she was 98 or 99 and her 3 brothers were all in their 80's. my grandpa i think was 79. my dad's parents are still going, they're in their early 80's. and my great granddad was about 95 when he died.

the only disease that i know of is my dad's mum had breast cancer, but she's fine now as far as i know. also on my mum's side, anemia and irregular heartbeats, but nothing serious. and of course they're all completely insane. so yeah, may i'll just be old and senile...
