In the life extension movement, longevity escape velocity (LEV), actuarial escape velocity [2] or biological escape velocity [3] is a hypothetical situation in which one's remaining life expectancy (not life expectancy at birth) is extended longer than the time that is passing.
The species limit of human life is estimated by scientists at 125–127 years, [5] [6] and even in the most ideal conditions a person will not live longer due to aging of the body. Some scientists believe that, even if medicine learns how to treat all major diseases, that will increase the average lifespan of people in developed countries by ...
