Consensus
- The idea of humans living to 150 years is considered unrealistic by a geriatrician.
- Current anti-aging medicine is largely based on cosmetics and hormone therapies.
- Radical life extension would require breakthroughs in genetic engineering and regenerative medicine.
- The maximum confirmed human lifespan is 122 years.
Points of divergence
- Anti-aging medicine is currently at an embryonic stage, with no established methods or dosages for achieving longevity goals. — vesti
- Even if people live to 150, they would be heavily dependent on care due to health issues like dementia and trophic disorders. — vesti
