I honestly think the Centenarian group as a whole is a very interesting and intriguing group of people. They might possess and help us uncover the answer(s) to the burning question what causes aging? A lot of their attitudes and personalities really stuck out to me. Their mental sharpness at over 100 years old was absolutely amazing to me. A few of my relatives have lived into their early to mid 90s so I find it very interesting and in watching the Centenarian video was thinking if my relatives are/were like that as well. I personally think more Centenarian studies should be conducted for comparison and to flat out just gather as much information as we possibly can about this group. I think this information is relevant to everyone on this planet because we all inevitably age. A lot of people just go through life ignoring this principal however but if we actually take a more in depth look at it and figure it out I think more people would be at ease about this concept.
I agree with your observation about the attitudes of centenarians! Gathering information for those few persons who have been able to make it to 100 years of age certainly would prove valuable regardless of their cognitive functions. Good post!
