Could we live to the ripe old age of 120?
Extending average life expectancy by another 40 years is almost in our reach, a scientist claims.
He says that within a generation, people could be living to 120 - thanks to therapies which he believes can stop the ravages of time.
Dr Aubrey de Grey, based at Cambridge University, claims he knows the secret to an extra-long life after identifying the processes that make our bodies deteriorate.
He says a combination of gene and stem cell therapy, along with "vaccinations" to reprogram the body's immune system, will halt these processes within 25 years.
Eventually, as science advances further, living indefinitely could become a possibility, he will claim at a conference in London later this week.
Last night, he described the therapies as "genuine rejuvenation processes" that could extend and improve life. The current average life expectancy is 75.7 for men and 80.4 for women.
"It could mean a 50-year-old person lives another 50 to 70 years rather than 20 to 30 - and they are healthy years, we are not talking about frailty," said Dr de Grey.
"Ultimately, we could extend life indefinitely because these processes do not simply slow down the damage which causes ageing, but repair it."
Dr de Grey, who has worked at Cambridge's Department of Genetics for 12 years, will speak about his findings at a two-day conference in London which starts on Friday.
It has been organised by a Chicago-based organisation, the American Academy of Anti-Ageing Medicine. Its founders have created a range of anti-ageing products.
Dr de Grey claims to have identified seven different ageing processes.
All involve changes in the body that accumulate over time, including cells dying off and not being replaced or cells reproducing too quickly.
Dr de Grey said stem cell therapy will soon be used to replace cells and gene therapy will be able to reprogram genes that are going wrong.
Vaccinations will also be used to reset the immune system when it starts to fail, he added.
Initially, research will be carried out on mice. But Dr de Grey believes scientists will start work on humans within ten years. But Dr Jay Olshansky, an authority on anti-ageing medicine at the "To say that we're going to achieve life expectancies of 100, as a population, any time soon is outside the realm of possibility," he said. "I'd be elated if we could get ten more years of life by slowing down ageing.
"But talking about 50, 60, 5,000 more years? That's counter-productive."
