We are nearing ‘longevity escape velocity’ — where science can extend your life for more than a year for every year you are alive

100 years old might become the new 60.

For most of history, humans lived about 25 years. Real acceleration emerged at the turn of the 20th century, when everything from the creation of antibiotics to the implementation of better sanitation to the increased availability of clean water, and the ability to tackle killers like cancer and heart disease has us living routinely into our 80s. But many scientists believe we’re not stopping there.

Some sound exactly like science fiction. Take 3-D-printed replacement organ parts, for example. They are slated to start hitting the market by 2023. By 2028 or so, experts are beginning to argue, death by organ failure may become a problem to be managed rather than a sad fact of life. A different stem cell-based approach is being pioneered by Celularity, a company founded by stem cell pioneer Robert Hariri. Hariri’s experiments demonstrate that placental-derived stem cells in animals can extend lifespan by 30% to 40%. The company is now working to make this approach viable in humans, harnessing stems cells’ incredible ability to amplify the body’s ability to fight disease and healing itself.
