rach 1 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Funny headline that one: It is the ultimate battle of the sexes - and women usually win. Now scientists have come up with a new theory for why woman live, on average, longer than men: men are more biologically ‘disposable’. The controversial theory, developed by Professor Tom Kirkwood of the University of Newcastle, suggests that the female body is better at carrying out routine maintenance and keeping the body’s cells alive. Professor Kirkwood believes there is now growing evidence to suggest that men are more disposable than women, because the cells of their bodies are not genetically programmed to last as long as they are in females. Many scientists believe that the aging process is caused by tiny faults throughout our body. As the tiny faults build up the length of our lives is determined by how quickly our body is able to carry out running repairs. Link to post Share on other sites

panhead_pete 27 Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 Sounds plausible - could be that men tend to treat their bodies more poorly too. Link to post Share on other sites
