Will medical science increase the general age of the population?

If I am 40 now, how old can I expect to become?
Answer:
yes it has been happening I guess thats politics to.Just study the history of life expectancy. We no longer have many things that could wipe you out to worry about do to vacination and miracle drugs like penicillian. Think about it in time of Jesus Christ the life expectancy was probably less than 33 1000 later in 1069 William the Conquer didnt make out of his 40s... It was still really low when Colubus discovered the Americas like 40 or so only since the last fifty years has people been able to live till 77Yet in Egypt 5000 years ago you had a pharroh live to 100. So they have increased but the limit is the same as always 120 and medicine cannot do it all your genes also does some to. And everyone is different so all medicines dont work for all people
THats why its so hard to diagnois or treat anybody because you dont know the exact complete state of that person like say a computer would need to know before it tried to fix what has them out of balance chances are many things and when they are sick a doctor will fix the main things because we have no test to give the exact and complete state of a human being. In which case the doctor job would be easy just solve the equation and find the best rememedy to put them back in balance but yes life expectancy due to advances in medicine have always been going up.Check the stats

it really depends on your own life decisions - diet, exercise, sexual activity, etc - however, technology is now availlable, for the extremely wealthy, to prolong life to the 140 year range!

Yes it will and has.Life expectancy is a function of more than just the therapies available to a given population ... it is the average number of years of life remaining to a number of people of a given age according to a given mortality table.Therefore, it is dependent on lifestyle, geographic location, nutrition, hygiene, exercise, genetics, and many other factors.The average life expectancy in the United States at this time is 77 years 5 months.Women typically outlive the average by several years.
