Who doesn't want to live longer? Modern science is making living to 100 and beyond easier, assuming everyone wants a happy retirement to be as long as possible.

Tech moguls like Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel are pouring millions into longevity research, while companies like Google are racing to rejuvenate human cells.
