Emma Morano


Emma passed away at the age of 117. She is the last known person to have lived in the 19th century. You put up a darn good fight Emma. It seems sad to me knowing nobody that lived in the 19th century is still alive. Emma lived in three different centuries.

She is in he best of hands now but if she was the last person to live in the 19th century, kind of gives me the blues.

Re: Emma Morano


Is Nat Geo sure about this?

Remember the 70's, they sent that crew into the Caucassus and found a tibe, living on goats milk, and cheese. They proportedly lived to be 150?

Then, well, you probably know the rest of the story.

Congrats to Mrs. Morano regardless. She has seen a lot in 117 years. Horse and buggy to the Tesla, to space stations, and cancer treated with gene therapy. Not to mention adult entertainment at your finger-tips.

Times have changed, not necessarily for good.

Re: Emma Morano


it's possible that over the last 30 years she was probably not much aware of what was going on in the world. people look at these folks that live so long and think how wonderful, but don't stop to think that from that person's viewpoint it may not be so wonderful. i think it would be cool to live that long, so long as i didn't have to live it in a nursing home bed, or in poverty, or in a communist or fascist country, or....

I can imagine that at times she would like to have "moved on."

Re: Emma Morano


That is America's paradox. We are living longer by decades, but we hurt like crud as we keep getting older. And, if I have one more doc tell me exercise will make me feel better, I am going to punch him.

That is a little irritating isn't it. Several decades back I was working out like a decathlon competitor and a rotund doctor told me the same thing.
