Public health and sanitation are improving all the time and medical technology are advancing so quickly that in 2100, the average life expectancy in some parts of the world is likely to be 100.

a vast number of scientist and institutions around the world are currently researching human ageing and are constantly looking for ways of increasing life expectancy. As a result, further advances in science and medicine may increase it to even more than 100.
