Prospect of human life extension-- Michael West

He discusses technologies which will enable us to extend human lifespan.

We don't know how long our kids will live. Technology currently working in the lab should extend their lifespans to 120 or so, but in another 50 years, the tech could easily be good enough to extend lifespan to 500 or so.

Attainable lifespan is growing faster than 1 year/year, meaning with each passing year, we gain more than one year of extra life.
