While the oldest verified person lived to 122, some researchers propose that a human lifespan of 140 or even 150 years might be achievable this century. The question, **Will humans live to 140?**, hinges on whether scientific breakthroughs can overcome the biological limits that govern aging.
While futurists suggest humans could live to 1,000 within decades, most scientists agree that true immortality remains a distant, uncertain goal. The question of **how close are we to immortality** is less about living forever and more about whether we can significantly extend and improve our healthspan, the period of life spent in good health. Breakthroughs in regenerative medicine and genetics are promising, but formidable biological and ethical challenges remain.
Though global life expectancy has risen dramatically, a 2021 study indicated that we might not be able to cheat aging and death, suggesting a fixed rate of aging across species. Yet, the question, "Is human immortality possible?" continues to captivate humanity, driving a new wave of scientific innovation and philosophical debate.
