A research finding published in the US says that medical advances will help human beings double their life expectancy in the next century, but people will not be able to retire until they are 85. This study carried out by Stanford University found that new drugs have extended human lifespan by one year every five years in the past. By 2025, if new technologies such as stem cells succeed, human life expectancy will increase even more.
