Abstract :
Summary
The issue of human lifespan has long been a matter of controversy among scientists. In spite of
the recent claim by Dong et al that human lifespan is limited to 115 years, with the mounting
improvements in biotechnology and scientific understanding of aging, we may be confident that
aging will slow down over the course of the current century extending human longevity much
longer than 115 years.
