Anticipated Human Lifespan in the Upcoming Century


The World Health Organization (WHO) provides statistics indicating that for children born in 2015, the typical life expectancy was 71.4 years, with females outliving males by four years.

The question of whether human lifespan will keep rising is a topic of discussion. Some are hopeful, asserting that humans may ultimately attain a lifespan of 1,000 years, while a group of researchers from the Netherlands has proposed that by 2070, human lifespans may extend to 125 years. However, other scholars argue that we may have reached a certain boundary regarding our natural lifespans.

Will our life expectancy continue to rise?
