Every day, new developments are being made in the fields of medicine and genetics. Although scientists who are pursuing immortality are still far from this goal, discoveries are already being made that will extend the normal human lifespan well beyond 100 years. Researchers have examined the biological lives of more than 3,800 Italian ‘quasi-supercentenarians’ who have managed to live longer than 105 years, as well as more than 9,800 French individuals who have reached this age.
IF 110 IS EXCEEDED THE REST WILL COME
Studies published in international scientific journals have revealed some surprising results. According to them, if people can break the 110-year barrier, their chances of living longer increase by about 50 percent. In other words, people’s chances of continuing to live past the age of 110 are much higher. Scientists say that with each passing year after a person’s 110th birthday, they have an equal chance of surviving another year.
130 YEARS OF LIFE IN THE 22ND CENTURY
As the world population increases rapidly, these developments indicate that there will be people who will live to be 130 years old by the beginning of the 22nd century. The study emphasizes that the probability of living to be 130 depends on reaching the age of 110, and states that this situation is equal to the probability of “winning by tossing a coin 20 times in a row.” “The probability of this is less than one in a million and is very unlikely to occur in the near future,” the study said. “However, the increasing number of supercentenarians makes it possible for the maximum reported age of death in this century to rise to 130.”” it is said.
IS THERE A LIMIT TO LIFE?
The study, published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, aims to reveal whether there is a limit to human lifespan. It is stated that the data in the study could have an impact on the anti-aging technology development efforts that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has started to invest in. Indeed, the study stated, “Robust experimental data on human mortality in extreme old age are important as one of the foundations of research aimed at finding a cure for aging.”” it is said.
BEZOS FINANCES
Along with his efforts to expand commercial space travel, Bezos is also focusing heavily on technologies that reverse the aging process. The investment firm recently invested in Unity, a San Francisco Bay Area firm that is researching ways to stop aging. Unity is trying to find ways to get rid of old cells in the body. These cells not only cause cancer, but over time also cause “macular degeneration” and “arthritis,” both of which are considered signs of aging.
