Can the human lifespan reach 1000 years? The science of extreme longevity

The maximum verified human lifespan is 122 years, a record held by Jeanne Calment. However, some futurists and molecular biogerontology researchers theorize that if fundamental cellular aging could be eliminated, the average human life span could be extended far beyond today's limits, even to the point where the human lifespan can reach 1000 years. This idea, once purely science fiction, is being explored through modern advancements in genetics, cell biology, and longevity research.
