Could someone walking among us now someday reach the age of 150? Some aging researchers think it’s possible.👵🏼👴🏾
🔬Steven Austad, a prominent gerontologist, once said ‘the first 150-year-old person is probably alive right now’ — even betting on it with a fellow scientist.
🔬Aubrey de Grey, a leading proponent of rejuvenation technology, argues that innovative treatments could help people alive today avoid age-related decline — and reach what he terms 'longevity escape velocity' within our lifetime.
🔬Futurist Ray Kurzweil echoes this optimism, predicting a point between 2029 and 2035 when medical advances may start adding years to life faster than time itself ticks by.
Though opinions vary, the conversation is shifting from if to when. 👌🏼
What do you think — could 150 be the new 100?
