Could a Human Live to 200? The Science of Extreme Longevity
In 1900, the global average life expectancy was just 32 years; today, it has more than doubled to over 70 years. This remarkable increase, driven by advances in medicine, sanitation, and lifestyle, naturally leads to a more ambitious question: **Could a human live to 200**? While once a fantasy, recent breakthroughs in biology and medicine suggest that dramatically extending the human lifespan—and healthspan—may one day be within reach, moving beyond the current record of 122 years.
