You mean the average age till death, i can think of 3 options:
based on extrapolation from the last 3 centuries, people will live an average of 35 years more than present - about 110 years.
assuming a breakthrough in biotechnology, people could become almost immortal, but probably at a stiff price.
Assuming warnings about ecology will come through, there will not be any people.
Take your pick

Humans will not be around in 300 years, are you kidding? Within 30 years most of the top economic countries will have nuclear, or advanced types of weapons, and how long will it take for the real WW3 to happen? The US will not be the superpower forever and any funds that once went into science will go to weapons and defense. And what about water and food shortages, superstorms, pollution, economic chaos and depression, I cant imagine what it will be like soon. Things like living on other planets, or building colonies in space is complete rubbish, will never happen. And when it comes to breakthroughs in science, only the few and select will benefit from them, and then? A Coming Race...

300
if you want to know what the average age of a human will be IN 300 years, you should say so.
Right now we have a lot of octogenarians that are reproducing. Many people are living into the 100s.
In another 300 years - the average age will be 150. (Remember that 100 years ago the average age was 65 now its 75).

With advances in medicine and the eventual eradication of major diseases, the AVERAGE lifespan will undoubtedly increase (since fewer folks will die earlier than they should). But the human body will still start to fail just like a car with 200,000 miles, and folks will not live past a little over 100 years (although more will probably make it this far). So in 300 years, we'll still be amazed when we hear about a 112-year old woman who's never been sick a day in her life.

i think less than our age, cuz it's kind of logical, in the years before Christ was born, the ages of people range from 500-1000 yrs and as years pass by, it decreases. Most likely the cause of this is because of the "advance technology". I believe that after us, more advanced weapons and other deaadly things will just be invented and kill the whole human race. =)

Our genes decide this.
Remember Dolly the sheep? She was cloned from an adult sheep. She should have out lived her donor by years. She died at the same time as her Donor because she was cloned from genes whose clock were were already half way through their cycle.
You can eliminate all diseases but until you can stop the aging clock in genes our life span will still be no more than100. If one does manage to stop this clock our age could be endless.
I think yes we might be able to do it in 300 years.

I doubt that any human being will live to be 300 years old.

But let's say "What if?"

In my opinion, the average age for a human being after 300 years is .... 300.

Pretty simple, right?

Hmm Id say "0" Coz it is highly unlikely for the human race to exist for more than 2 centuries.
But if they do survive..Well the life expectancy might be as high as 120 yrs!

I would guess up to 150 years with an acceptable quality of life. Perhaps more, but with limitations in mobility and dependability on technology. Of course changes will have to be made so that ecological, economic, and social factors as well as technological factors support this.

ah yes. these advancements will allow us to live longer. but it doesnt really say anything about making us smart. the way i see it, even if we can grow that old we wont be able to cause we have all killed each other by then.
