Humans Could Live to Be 150, Science Says

Even if you somehow manage to make it through decades of old age without a single major health issue—evading cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and so on—scientists say there's a ceiling on how long you can extend your life, throwing cold water on the ambitious Silicon Valley goal to outsmart death.

But the thing that's keeping the human body from reaching immortality is surprisingly mundane: over time, your body loses the "physiological resilience," or the ability to bounce back, that you once had in your younger years. That, scientists say in a study published earlier this year in Nature Communications, is enough to limit our lives to 120 to 150 years at the most.
