RIP Jeralean Talley. She was just 6 years short of the all time record, currently being held by Jeanne Calment of France (18751997), who died at the age of 122. The medical sector is getting more and more innovative now, and new drugs are being found. So in the future, it won't be unusual for people to live up to 120 years.
Yes but will the medical community be able to improve the quality of life at that age? Living that long would be great! Spending 30+ years as very elderly with limited mobility or freedom would be a challenge. (Not awful, just a challenge).
How long could you, would you want to, live elderly?
