Living to 150 or so...

[kandrathe]

I'm not holding my breath. Senescence is a complicated process. All sorts of things start to break down as one ages. Extending lifespans more than a few years isn't a matter of stopping one of them, but of stopping them all.

Yeah. Namely telomere issues, mutations, and some various enzymes involved in RNA and cellular repair. Keeping pretty fit is also a crucial factor, so it'll be the Jack Lalanes of the present who are first to live with a high quality of life beyond 100.
