Why living past 115 is almost impossible
While more people are living past 100, the maximum human lifespan has remained around 115 years. This article explores scientific and biohacking efforts, including FDA-approved drugs, cellular reprogramming, and Bryan Johnson's "Don't Die" protocol, aimed at radically extending human lifespan beyond this current limit.
Why it matters
The pursuit of extending human lifespan has profound implications for society, healthcare, and the economy, raising ethical questions and potentially revolutionizing our understanding of aging and disease. It also highlights the growing field of longevity research and its commercialization.
Today, more people are living past 100 than ever before — even though the maximum human lifespan hasn't moved past 115 years. But is that about to change? The Limit host Daniel T. Allen spent months talking to medical researchers, biohackers, and centenarians. He also went through a battery of tests worth over $12,000 at a longevity clinic to find out how long he might live. For this episode, Business Insider looked into what could radically extend human lifespan, including FDA-approved drugs, cellular reprogramming, and Bryan Johnson's $2 million "Don't Die" protocol.
