marriages I had many spouses and I was able to spend my life accompanied
with each one of them. I had many 30 children and I could see several

EVERY ASSIGNMENT GIVEN
CLEVER HANS
What I think is that Clever Hans only show it’s intelligence when a person
realized an unintentional expression in the face.
DANIEL CALLAHAN
I agree with the Bioethicist Daniel Callahan, there are some disadvantages
about doubling of the humans lifespan. It will affect society at every level.
Marriage, family and work will change. Marriage won't be a lifelong union,
it will be a long-term commitment. There are going to be a lot of people
getting married many times. Couples will have a lot of children of different
ages , and that will affect their interaction of siblings or parents. Also the
oldest people will spend more time working and the retirement age will
have to be pushed back, because the oldest people should give the
opportunity to work to the youngest people.

LIMA, PERU
Living in Peru has many interesting things, but also advantages and
disadvantages
In lima people live around 74 years old, the lifestyle of a Lima is interesting but at
the same time stressful, people try to exercise and get distracted a bit, in addition,
their lifestyle is a Lima of work at home, since at 6:00 d in the afternoon that a
person usually leaves to work the traffic is terrible and does not make you want
to leave.
Just as there are disadvantages, there are also advantages, the people of Lima
are very extroverted, happy and when they have fun they have fun to the fullest,
they are respectful and at the same time they try to get ahead in any way.
In conclusion, living in any country, such as Peru has its advantages and
disadvantages but we have to enjoy our days as if it were the last day of our lives.
