Lifespan of humans can surpass 120 years
NEW technologies and 3D printed human organs can contribute to mankind’s longevity, as scientists have been adding three months to the average life span annually, experts said.

Meanwhile, Shafi Ahmed, co- founder of Virtual Medics and Medical Realities, said 3Dprinting will help in organ transplantation in the long run. In the waiting list for organ donation - age of 17,000 receive transplants, 20per cent die before the organ implanted becomes effective.

“It’s not about expanding life has to be built around wellness,” he said.
