Would Voq/Tyler still have a Klingon lifespan and live till the 24th/25h century?

[Nerys Myk]

I know, but my point was that it's not just Klingons that live to old age, but humans, too. (to say nothing of Vulcans.)

McCoy seems to be an exception. He looked pretty frail. The Klingons, not so much.

I vaguely remember that before the TOS Klingon trio came back in DS9, fandom had this idea that Klingons actually had shorter lifespans than humans. I could be remembering wrong, though.

Probably from reading the FASA stuff. There is a passage in the Klingon Handbook saying that.

Joseph Sisko was in his sixties and despite suffering from some unnamed medical issues was still confident he'd celebrate "50 more birthdays."

Keiko went home to Earth to celebrate her mother's 100th birthday. (which is kind of nuts, because it means she was about 60 when Keiko was born, but whatever...)

Living to over one hundred was commonplace in Star Trek for humans.

Not sure that sample size constitutes "commonplace"

Of course it is. Given the casual way Sisko says, "I'll be around for 50 birthdays" despite having chronic medical problems and no one laughs or otherwise says, "ARE YOU CRAZY! SUCH A THING IS IMPOSSIBLE!" I think we can take it at face value that such a thing actually is quite common.

Those are two ordinary examples. Plus McCoy.

And what's the number of humans alive in the 24th Century? Laughing at a sick old man is bad form.
