Maximum Human Lifespan

New research shows that even with the best possible care, there's a limit beyond which our bodies stop being able to maintain themselves. A longitudinal study of blood markers has shown just what the upper limit of human life could be.

It may not be possible to extend the human life span beyond the ages already attained by the oldest people on record, a new study has found.

No one might ever challenge the 122-year record of the longest-living person in documented history, said a study Wednesday which claimed to have found a "ceiling" to maximum human lifespan.

A Silicon Valley entrepreneur has launched a $1 million prize challenging scientists to discover the 'elixir of life' and push human lifespan past its apparent maximum of about 120 years.
