It is ridiculous that more than one person is trying to tell me that they have never seen, in their life, a person eighty years of age who was not a secret agent and/or a nanomachine-enhanced superhuman. It is ridiculous that three different people are trying to argue that a woman living to be eighty years old is less probable than a man coming back to life from a nanomachine coma by grafting parts of his clones onto his body. I have never before had such a ridiculous conversation. I kind of have to agree with this guy.

Despite them recently dying, I had great-grandparents living throughout most of my teenage years, and they were like around during WW1. That's old. In regards to how different the Metal Gear universe is to ours, it's entirely possible that medical science in 2016 of Metal Gear completely trumps what we'll have in two years from now. Hell, it's already more impressive - working robotic limbs. Cyborgs. Nanomachines. Saying that a woman not surviving over her 70s compared to all of that is ridiculous.
