Could humans live to 500 years old? Scientists believe genetic tweaks could significantly extend our lifespan

Could humans live to 500 years old? Scientists believe genetic tweaks could significantly extend our lifespan | Mail Online: "Living to the ripe old age of 500 might be a possibility if the science shown to extend worms' lives can be applied to humans, scientists have said. U.S. researchers tweaked two genetic pathways in the tiny lab worm Caenorhabditis elegans and boosted the creature's lifespan by a factor of five."
