“And scientists have estimated that if we could cure all cancer, that would only get her up to 85. That would add only four years to the average lifespan.”

What-if
Targeting aging directly could extend average human lifespan to 113 years
“That would get the average lifespan up to 113 by targeting aging directly rather than targeting individual diseases one at a time. And what's really key too is this would be an additional 30 years of healthy life.”
