Our world has more centenarians than ever before, and the rate at which peole are being added to the list is increasing steadily. One can only wonder just how far the limit of human lifespans can be pushed through medical technology and better understanding of our own internal clocks, phenomenae such as the Hayflick Limit, possible benefits from DNA research and cloning tehnology, etc.
