Is the first person to live till 120 alive today?

The first person to live past 120 years is already dead. Her name was Jeanne Calment.

There’s debate this was Jeanne’s 99 year old daughter.

As was explained to me when I was a child, to live longer, the world must spin faster. Our religion teacher told us that was how Methuselah loved some 900+ years. (at the age of 7 it sounded possible)

Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 900 years
Who calls that livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man who's 900 years

There's also a debate about whether the earth is flat.

Not in my home town it isn't.

Mountains don't count.

It is not likely that people living past 100 years will become common, without serious medico-technological intervention. When you get past reproductive age, systems in your body start shutting down. There is no evolutionary value in keeping you alive, and the body just isn't "programmed" to do that.

I’m not saying it could not, or will not occur one day.

I’m not debating anything. Just providing what I consider a reputable source saying there is question as to whether this is true.

But comparing flat earthers with Smithsonian indicating the daughter may have assumed the mother’s identity to avoid I heritance tax and/or other financial gain or profit isn’t exactly in the same realm of plausibility.

Proving a person is that age isn’t as easy as presenting a birth certificate and saying “it’s mine”.

Wasn’t trying to diss you, just showing this claim is questionable upon further investigation.

Another interesting question is whether anything is available today which can significantly slow one's aging. See, for example, resveratrol.

Just saying, there are debates about everything, so I wouldn't take that as indicative of much.

Given the uncertainty, it may well be that the first person to live to 120 is alive today, if not today tomorrow.

Jeeves, bring me my recreational pharmacology, and don't dally.

I've discovered a plot against all those who chance to become world's oldest. Every single one of them. . .and I mean NO exceptions, will die. Not a target I would choose to wear.

Hi neo, long time no see.

I've been in geezer mode.

You got me googling for "geezer". "Old and cranky"?

What did it have to say about roger?

What do you mean "first"? Lots of people have lived to that age.

Before the flood people lived almost a thousand years. Remember, there was a tree of life in those days. The flood was when the tree of life was taken down and 120 years has been the limit since then.

The oldest man ever whose age has been verified is Jiroemon Kimura (1897–2013) of Japan, who died at the age of 116 years, 54 days. As of 25 March 2019, the oldest known living person is Kane Tanaka of Japan, aged 116 years, 82 days. The oldest known living man is Gustav Gerneth of Germany, aged 113 years, 161 days.
