How Long Have I Got, Doc?

Discover Magazine has an article about the limits of life extension:

A century ago, most Americans lived to be about 50. Today people over 100 make up the fastest-growing segment of the population. As some researchers bet that children born today will live to be 150, others say there is no upward limit on longevity

(Full article requires paid subscription.)

Two doctors are offering what they expect to be a $500 million reward in the year 2150 to the first person who can prove that he or she has lived 150 years.

I predict that there will be a lot of folks eligible to collect that prize. I also predict that $500 million won't buy you that much in 2150.
