Age shall not weary us -- Upper limit of human life expectancy set at 125

Ever wondered how old is old when it comes to life expectancy of humans?

The average life span seems to vary with every new report released, 60, 80, 85, 100 -- who knows where it will end?

Scientists Byung Mook Weonand Jung Ho Je in their paper Predicting Human Lifespan Limits have proposed a mathematical model for human survival dynamics that suggests the oldest we will ever reach is 125.

Of course, not many of us are ever going to make it that far nor would we want to but the study is an interesting one nonetheless.

The results are based on a study of women in Sweden and all results are based on women in Europe.
