New research suggests that humanity has reached an upper limit of longevity, with no significant gains in life expectancy for the past three decades in the longest-lived countries.
Despite ongoing medical advances designed to extend life, the findings indicate that average life expectancy has plateaued, contradicting assumptions about continuous lifespan increases.
Aging remains a complex phenomenon, as biological processes contribute to diseases like dementia and heart disease, which have proven resistant to current efforts at deceleration.
S. Jay Olshansky articulates that our bodies have limits, comparing extending life to a game of Whac-a-Mole, where each disease represents a challenge as we age.
