RE: Will we see radically extended human lifespan within our lifetime?

in #life7 years ago

Maybe not for us, but maybe for your children... or your grandchildren... you might see a 150-year lifespan. I don't think any of the cures and therapies will be readily retrofitted, but if applied to someone at let's say age 5, it could prolong the rest of their life.

Sort:  

It is a race against time - Science vs. aging :)

If progress keeps on its exponential track record, then 150 years might come sooner than one thinks. If on the other hand progress cannot keep up its current speed or we hit roadblocks (ex. physiological constraints) then we might have to settle for our current 70ish years of conscience.
