•Maximum and average
lifespans of simple organisms like nematodes
can be increased by a factor of seven
•The maximum
established lifespan of humans is 122
•Key questions
of concern to me are:
–What are the prospects for breaking through the limit to allow lifespans of hundreds of years?
–Given what is
known now, how is that likely to come about?
–And,
when?
•This presentation addresses these questions.
