Token Yankee Guy Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This person was in Connecticut, and here's the article about the oldest person that passed away. Emma Faust Tillman, whose life spanned three centuries and 21 U.S. presidencies, died Sunday night at an East Hartford nursing home, the facility's administrator said. At 114, she was the world's oldest known living person. Tillman, the daughter of former slaves, was born during the administration of President Benjamin Harrison. Her reign as the world's oldest person was short-lived; she assumed the title Jan. 24 with the death of 115-year-old Emiliano Mercado del Toro of Puerto Rico.... http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-oldestperson-obit-0129,0,3712776.story?coll=hc-headlines-home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spookbaby Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I work at a nirsing home were quite frequently we have residents who are over 100 years in age. Sometimes well over 100. They all just pretty much wake up wishing that they'll kick it. So good for her. Laura "I also agree with Joe" Huls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiCoastal Kid Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 So when somebody masturbates, does that count as the youngest person in the world dying? Is that only half of a death? When does a person real-time age start being taken, and if they die, how do you verify that they're a person if they're still devloping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonOfBeastSucks Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 So when somebody masturbates, does that count as the youngest person in the world dying? Is that only half of a death? When does a person real-time age start being taken, and if they die, how do you verify that they're a person if they're still devloping? I would say the soonest a life would start to develop is after the sperm has contact with the egg. If you masturbate and the sperm doesn't have contact with a fertilizing egg, it doesn't count as a human life, and therefor doesn't have anything to do with death. If you say a life is taken every time someone masturbates, then a life is also taken whenever one has sex with a condom, or other means of birth control. Also, if what I've heard about "The Morning After" pill is correct, a human life doesn't start to develop until up to 36 hours after the sperm has contact with the egg, so technically that wouldn't count as the taking of a life either.
