Life expectancy has increased from just 46.3 years in 1900 to 76.4 years in 2023. That’s a 65% increase over only around 100 years. That’s due in large part to advances in treating illnesses, but it also Prompts the question: how long could humans potentially live?

00:00Life expectancy has increased from just 46.3 years in 1900 to 76.4 years in 2023.
00:11That's a 65% increase over only around 100 years.
00:14That's due in large part to advances in treating illnesses.
00:17But it also prompts the question, how long could humans potentially live?
00:21The oldest person who ever walked the earth died at the age of 122.
00:25But many are looking far beyond even that.
00:27Unfortunately, aging is part of our DNA.
00:30And it has limits with regards to its ability to heal itself.
00:33Meaning even in the absence of disease, eventually your body's cells will enter a state of cellular senescence.
00:38Or when they can no longer reproduce but they also don't die.
00:41According to a study by researchers at the UCL Institute of Prion Diseases,
00:45these can then float around inside you and actually become destructive as we age.
00:49Usually by around age 60.
00:51At that point, our immune system can no longer adequately get rid of them.
00:54And this is all due to damage and wear and tear on our DNA over time.
00:58But now researchers are looking to stop that as well.
01:01So if hypothetically we can treat every illness, how long do experts believe we could live?
01:05Will the higher estimates put human potential lifespan at around 150 years?
01:09Though some say if we can prevent DNA damage, mitigate cell damaging free radicals,
01:14and prevent cell oxidation, we could unlock eternal life.
01:17That's where we can prevent DNA damage.
01:21Cause people are now talking to human behaviour.
01:22Together we can extremist daily damage.
01:27What do we may say is that there is a special way of oppression
01:30to them and these other enemies will appear?
01:32They can transfer from them.
01:33They can險 through the main suspects.
01:35That it is because they don't do well,
01:36they can治 many criteria for human elephants.
01:38in order PS, while even if we can get them across mais,
01:40part 1, 2 B.
01:42And the object감이 also appears to CYCI until the endpoint reminder to live.
