arghton 6,753 Posted March 15, 2023 All the talk about Carter's longevity and immortality reminded me, over a year ago I saw this post by drol while searching for something: On 06/12/2019 at 20:28, drol said: The brand-new generation of immortals created in 2019: 1)Jimmy Carter: melanoma which metastasized to the brain, fall with cerebral hemorrhage, urinary infection, continuos hospitalizations and being over 95. None of this thing suffice to kill the old peanut lover. 2)Lata Mangeshkar: spending a week on life support for acute respiratory failure and a month in ICU is not enough to kill a 90-year old overweight national icon. Another pearl from the country of immortals. 3)Balbir Singh Sr.: Acute respiratory and heart failure, 14 days on life support, three months in ICU, a heart attack and another fortnight in ICU, pneumonia and again in ICU with respiratory failure. Nothing is enough to kill a 95 year old man who breathes through a tube. 4)Daniel arap Moi: Repeated hospitalizations, acute respiratory failure and almost a week on life support, over two months in hospital, one of whom in ICU. Still no harm to the 95 year old dictator. 5)Leiji Matsumoto: Suffers severe stroke and put on life support. Two weeks later discharged in excellent conditions- 6)Manolis Glezos: 97-year old resistance fighter, neurological problems, in ICU with heart and respiratory failure, and great deterioration in general health. The natural outcome, he survives and is discharged in good health. 7)Desmond Tutu: prostate cancer for 20 years (!!!!), continuos hospitalizations for infections, 88 year old, but, no, hey, he is well and goes home again. 8)Everton Weekes: heart attack in June, minimizes everything, again hospitalized for medical emergency some months later, and presumably still recovers at 94. 9)Dilip Kumar: No one heard anything from him from over a year. This guy is 97 and was continuosly hospitalized for pneumonia and infections, plus he has late stage dementia and is likely to be a vegetable with kidney failure on permanent dialysis. 10)Hau Pei-tsun: severe stroke at 99, still going at 100 and no hints at a possible demise. Almighty science in keeping alive human cases. I didn't double-check, but I think he's been the last survivor of this list since Leiji Matsumoto died last month. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THESNOWFANATIC 21 Posted March 15, 2023 Hello, I'm new here. From looking at President Biden's statement about delivering Carter's eulogy, it seems like it's probably the cancer that was "cured" back in 2015 by immunotherapy that has come back to eventually claim him, though Carter seems to have the fighting spirit of a wolverine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've just bought two tickets to go see Obama in the Ziggo Dome on the 1st of May and a state funeral on that day might just be a hindrance to the whole event 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimreaper 698 Posted March 25, 2023 Here's something I just thought about. Jimmy Carter's hospice announcement came on the two year anniversary of Bob Dole announcing he had lung cancer. Dole who was in his 98th year at the time of the announcement lasted until December 5. While Carter doesn't have lung cancer, their are whispers he's suffering from a recurrence of brain cancer. I wonder what the chances are he could match Dole by lasting until the end of the year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he survives we all owe @diego a DL Cup apology. In fact he should get sone sort of bonus. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Putin 423 Posted March 28, 2023 Just wanna say that march 22 was it was 4 years since Carter surpassed GHWB final age and took over the title as the longest lived US president. So am wondering how long he will have that title before someone will surpass his age. Biden is the oldest after Carter now. So unless someone that is older then Biden becomes president later on, he have to live 18 years and 51 days after Carter dies to surpass him, if Biden lives that long then. Most likely of the current living presidents to surpass Carter GWB and maybe Obama since he is just 61 years now. Carter is almost 98.5 years now, and am not sure if any of the current US will reach that age, and it can take a long time before that record will be broken. Probably not so long as John Adams who was the longest lived president from when he surpassed George Washington age in 1803, untill Ronald Reagan surpassed him in 2001 after 198 years. But I can imagine it can take 50+ years before someone else surpassas Carters age. Just wanted to share that thought, and what others on community think about this. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Biden and former presidents want to break Carter’s longest post presidency record, it will take much time : Clinton would have to live until at least 28 march 2043, he would be 96 years old Bush to live 28 march 2051, 104 years Obama to 28 march 2059, 97 years Trump to 28 march 2063, 116 years (breaking Jiroemon Kimura’s record of longest lived male !)

ThereWillBeDeaths7 741 Posted March 28, 2023 While we're at it with the statistics: For each living US President to reach Carter's age (which he will likely add some final weeks or months to): 98,5 years old on April 1, 2023 (Not bothering with exact number of days, just a casual estimation) Biden (1942): May 20, 2041 Trump (1946): December 14, 2044 Bush (1946): January 6, 2045 Clinton (1946): February 19, 2045 Obama (1961): February 4, 2060 While I could see a couple of them living to 90+, chances of any of them breaking the record are pretty small. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
