How would someone from Gallifrey cheat death?!

Answers: Hope you like science fiction:)
Well, since they have 13 consecutive lives for each body, when they get down to one life, they can steal some energy from someone with more lives left. However, since each life lasts like those of humans, it is possible to live up to 100 years or more per life. Actually, they have much longer life spans than 100 years per life. Isn't 65 long enough? (I only use that number because an old man once told me that 45 or 50 was a good age to die). Imagine having to grow old and corroded and go on social security 13 times. Retire at 65 thirteen times and realize you are now old and unwanted by many. It probably is almost impossible to get a really good paying job at that age. There are some, of course, but I mean in comparison to the general population -- the average person, not someone like John McCain or Ted Kennedy (the latter I find revolting as well as everything else). Gee, once would be too much for me! I'm glad I won't be around to see my social security years.
