‘Humans will live up to 200 years in next 40 years’
A renowned medical expert, Dr. Ibrahim Wada, has predicted that humans will live up to 200 years in the next 40 years.
Dr. Wada is the Founder of Nisa Medical Group, Abuja, and an Associate Professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University in Bauchi.
The professor made this prediction during the Second Nimi Dimkpa Briggs Legacy Lecture Series, recently held at the University of Port Harcourt.
While delivering a speech on “The Longevity of Man”, Dr. Wada highlighted the rapid advancements in medical technology and genetic engineering.
He noted that scientists can now create artificial eggs and sperm from human saliva and grow babies in artificial wombs.
Rats have already been born with the aid of this technology, and Dr Wada believes it is only a matter of time before humans begin to utilise the technology.
Dr. Wada also discussed the potential of stem cells, artificial organs, and genetic reprogramming to extend human lifespan.
He said, “In another 40 or 30 years, it will be normal for a child to say I am going to be here for 200 years and another is going to say maybe 250 years.
“We are in a computer reprogramming age of man.”
The renowned medical expert further noted that advancements in life sciences have made it possible for people to understand and manipulate the codes in human genes that determine longevity by recreating stem cells from one’s gene and reintroducing them to one’s body to regenerate the dead cell.
According to Dr. Wada, life science has developed to a stage where one can understand all those codes and even manipulate some of them to achieve longevity.
He, however, lamented that such advanced healthcare services are not yet available in Nigeria.
Regardless of the absence of the service in Nigeria, Dr. Wada emphasised the importance of healthcare services, noting that medical check-ups and lifestyle changes can help Nigerians achieve longevity.
He advised people to prioritise their health by eating well, exercising regularly, and getting enough rest.
“The brain is always active, and when it’s time to rest, you must rest the brain, no compromise. Those are the elements that will make you live very long,” said Dr. Wada.
