Can humans really expect to live to 150 or beyond in this century? While some dream of radical life extension, recent research suggests we may have hit a wall. This deep dive into the latest findings reveals why our biological limits—and a slowdown in life expectancy gains—make extended lifespans unlikely anytime soon. Join me as we explore the science behind aging, the true potential of medical advancements, and what this means for the future of human life. Is the pursuit of eternal youth a futile fantasy, or could we still unlock the secrets of longevity?
