SloveniaScientists have calculated that even if aging were completely overcome, humans would still not live forever due to accumulated mutations in DNA over time. According to a new study, most people would likely live no longer than around 200 years under such conditions. The research models scenarios where all other causes of aging are eliminated but somatic mutations continue to accumulate. These mutations occur during DNA replication and repair processes and can lead to cell death or dysfunction. The study suggests that the median lifespan could range between 146 and 194 years, with a probable average of 156 years. In extreme cases, one in 100,000 individuals might reach 470 years, though this is a statistical upper limit rather than an absolute biological boundary. The heart and brain are identified as the main limitations because their cells rarely regenerate, leading to the accumulation of mutations over time. Organs like the liver and respiratory tract show greater resilience due to higher cell regeneration rates.
