As we have observed from astronauts returning from space, living in zero gravity causes problems like muscle wasting and loss of calcium from bones but these problems occur AFTER they return to Earth.
What if you were to spend your entire life in 0-grav and you never had to return to Earth?
I realize this is a hypothetical question and it's not likely to happen any time soon, but I wonder what would happen if you were born on a space station and lived your entire life there, what would be the physical effects?
Would the human body adapt to it's environment?
What do you think would be life expectancy?
 
bone deterioiration after maybe a few years
osteo perosis
paralyzation

not fun, i won't do it again.
