Programmed theories imply that aging is regulated by biological clocks operating throughout the lifespan.

In theory, if the information and processes of the mind can be disassociated from the biological body, they are no longer tied to the individual limits and lifespan of that body.

It is not known whether they can interbreed with Liadens or Terrans, though given their common genetic origin there is no reason why they should not be able to ; the likely lifespan of such offspring is short, not for merely biological reasons.

They point out that the lifespan view proposes that development is continuous, with individuals continually adjusting to the competing demands of socialization agents and biological tendencies.

After attaining power and the expansion of humans in space, they eventually entered a somewhat stagnant phase in which a fixed lifespan of four-hundred years was imposed on the human inhabitants of the planets where the Instrumentality directly ruled, all the hard physical labor was done by rightless animal-derived " underpeople ", and children were never raised by their biological parents.

Whatever from the physical point of view was the organic, biological cause of the end of her bodily life, it can be said that for Mary the passage from this life to the next was the full development of grace in glory, so that no death can ever be so fittingly described as a “ dormition ” as hers.

Survival analysis is a branch of statistics which deals with death in biological organisms and failure in mechanical systems.

In the case of biological survival, death is unambiguous, but for mechanical reliability, failure may not be well-defined, for there may well be mechanical systems in which failure is partial, a matter of degree, or not otherwise localized in time.

Washington-Williams did not reveal her biological father's identity until she was 78 years old, after Thurmond's death in 2003.

The failure of mechanical devices such as ships, trains, and cars, is similar in many ways to the life or death of biological organisms.

A Time magazine article published the month of her death identifies her father as a " drifting railroad mechanic "; according to a 2005 biography, the mother was married to Norwegian Alfred Ridste, who abandoned the family before Carole was born, and it was Charles Fenner, her mother's second husband, who most likely was Carole's biological father.

During the period from 1 July 1960 through 31 January 1961, additional research affiliations were effected with the U. S.

Indeed, in the largest biological weapons accident known – the anthrax outbreak in Sverdlovsk ( now Yekaterinburg ) in the Soviet Union in 1979, sheep became ill with anthrax as far as 200 kilometers from the release point of the organism from a military facility in the southeastern portion of the city ( known as Compound 19 and still off limits to visitors today, see Sverdlovsk Anthrax leak ).
