what do u think the oldest chronological age humankind will ever attain will be, and how close are we?

Question

how close are we attaining the highest chronological age humans will ever be able to attain? what yr do you think this will be achieved?

Answer 1

I think all that will depend on the persons genes and how well they take care of themselves. My great-grandmother lived to 103 so I know longevity is in my genes provided that I take care of myself.
There are others who live to 112 - 115, even 122.
The web states that the oldest human is now 125.

With advances in technology that increase the quality of life, I can see humans living to at least 150.

Answer 2

withing the next 100 years, people will be 200 years old. i am not going to explain all the science that i have accumulated but i know everything. all we have to do is slow down the aging process. different methods have been accepted but they are not approved by the FDA. imagine that it will take you to 70 years to look like a 35 yr old. so it will take 200 yrs to look like a 100yr old. if we had a space shuttle that was fast enough to get to another younger star in the galaxy in less than a 1000 years, then you could live right now to the age of 1000. we just don't have the technology and inventions that will make a space shuttle protect us from the radiation of a star. the earth has van allen belts to protect us.

Answer 3

I firmly believe that maximum ages of two hundred years may be attainable. But it will take a lot of technology, and will probably wind up being something only the very rich can afford.
For the rest of us, I think fifty to one hundred and ten depending on your health care status.

Answer 4

Well, they've found the gene that causes aging, so if they can find a way to turn it off...

Answer 5

well, we can stop people dying but not ageing

so you can look forward to years and years of fragile, brittle old age
