New research suggests there may be a limit to our life span - one that's hard to extend without some sort of breakthrough that fixes all age-related problems. In the new study, researchers analyzed mortality data from a global database. They think the human life span more likely maxes out at 115 years. The goal is to eventually find treatments that might slow the aging process in humans and keep them healthier longer. S. Jay Olshansky, a longevity researcher at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said it remains to be seen just how much further life span can be stretched with technology.
