It is now a fact that the average life expectancy has increased significantly. It is no exaggeration to say that it has exceeded any period in history. This is due to the advancement of technology and medical standards. Nowadays, common diseases will not cause people to lose their lives if economic conditions permit. For some diseases that may seem terminal to ordinary people, such as cancer, organ failure, etc., with the help of the most advanced medical technology, can they help people save their lives? If these diseases are overcome, how long will it take for people to live forever?
First of all, the most advanced medical technology may not be accessible to ordinary people. In addition to being unusually rich, you must also be unusually powerful. Many emperors have studied immortality since ancient times. They also enjoyed the top medical services of that era, including auxiliary religious and health care services. Of course, many people died after taking elixirs. Everyone knows this conclusion as to whether they have achieved immortality. It seems that not many emperors lived long lives. The most advanced medical technology at the time did not seem to help the emperors extend their lives by a few years, let alone achieve immortality.
Thanks to the advancement of science and technology, various medical devices assist doctors in conducting more in-depth research on the structure of the human body. I dare not talk about longevity now. It is not a big problem to extend life span through technology.
When we discuss technology to help people overcome various diseases, and the ultimate result is to help people achieve immortality, in fact, this is no longer a technical issue, but may also involve more of a management issue. Every time humans overcome a disease, the average life span of humans will increase. In fact, even at this stage, all countries are facing the problem of population aging. If all diseases are conquered, or if there are so-called longevity medicines, they will not be promoted.
Assuming that all medical and technological means are used, what is the current limit of human life? I think it should be further than what most people expect. Cloning technology, genetic technology, and human-machine integration technology are not new terms only found in science fiction movies. The average person has no chance to use them, but it does not mean that the top people cannot use them. The top dignitaries who are still alive will tell us how far medical advancement has come.
