While at the majority of organisms of specific limits of a life separate representatives reach only. Today is most standard to consider that there are two independent phenomena, limiting longevity: physiological process of ageing and illness which all in a greater degree amaze with the years the person. Have thus calculated that if the basic illnesses of ageing - an atherosclerosis and a cancer longevity of the person will increase for 18 years will be eliminated; if all illnesses of advanced age it will give on the average in addition 2 more - 5 years of a life are eliminated. On this basis it is supposed that in the conditions of ageing without illnesses the person will die at the age close by 100 years. The picture is rather tempting.
