Dying to live to be 100? Are you sure? Read
Researchers in Korea have shown that eunuchs – castrated men living centuries ago – outlived other men by a significant margin.
They say their findings suggest that male sex hormones are responsible for shortening the lives of men.
They have have my testicles when they pry them…
Did they really live longer or did it just seem that way?
I dont think you live longer if you are castrated, I just think it seems longer since there’s really no point to it.
On top of that, who wants to live with half their brain power?
In that HBO series Thorn of Crones, there’s a eunuch who seems to have outlived a lot of other characters… Makes ‘em wiley.
Just sayin’.
In Game of Thrones, the eunuch is outliving all the other characters, so maybe this is true. Stephen – the image-processed pencil-esque drawing of you which is suddenly being used might serve as an “after” photo… just sayin’ … You might want to look into it. (masculinizing the image, that is… Maybe a Greek looking stache?)
As ambassador Kosch said in B5, “You are not ready for immortality” No shit Sherlock, not by a long shot.
Couldn’t it be argued that women are responsible for the shortening of mens’ lives? Thus, as eunuchs don’t have these issues, wouldn’t that account for the correlation?
I’m not saying I would trade or anything, (there are some outstanding benefits to women), but women do have that rare gift for making everything more difficult.
It’s not rare,they all have the abilty.
Testosterone shortened their lives because they were doing manly things. Things worth doing.
