In a quest to discover the edge of human existence, scientists have found that the limit of human lifespan stands at 150 years.
Researchers from a Singaporean biotech company Gero studied medical data from volunteers in the UK and US to arrive at the figure.
It was found that even if you escape behemoths like heart disease, cancer, accidents or other killers, our body’s ability to restore its natural structure and metabolic systems after disruption fades with time. Due to this decline, the human body's maximum life can be estimated at around 120 to 150 years.
Writing in the journal, Nature Communications, the team explained that the natural decline in resilience shows that 'the end of life is an intrinsic biological property of an organism.'
Contradicting humanity's obsession with immortality, the research confirmed 'a fundamental or absolute limit of human lifespan.'
In case you were curious, the record for the world's oldest living person is reportedly held by a French woman who lived 122 years until her passing in 1977.
