Charlotte Baris: 40 more years… This is the number of years we could gain on our life expectancy. At L’Express, we devoted a large article to longevity and scientists’ ideas for staying young. And one of the journalists who participated in its creation is Victor Garcia from the health service… Victor, these 40 additional years of life are the objective of scientists today, that means that we would live until ‘at what age ?
Victor Garcia: Up to 120 years! In any case, it is the age that seems to correspond to a glass ceiling. I’ll tell you why.
