Genetic max age in humans is 120 years (+-5 years).
Based on telomere degradation. Recent developments may result in human telomere repair in the near future.
Which still leaves genetic degradation and a few more to solve. Aside from living standards, since most don't reach even 100. But maybe those cases who reach 120 without doing anything special are similiar cases to the super-healers of lung tissue, which never get cancer even with 2 packs cigare / day?
Recommend anything to read on the matter? Sounds very interesting, but I'm afraid I may find some dubious material before striking anything good.
Puh, i think this was from some science journal years ago. I think mainly due to telomeres?
Now that you mention it, this may be obsolete already. Someone knows?
