Some animals like turtles can live for 200 years. Some trees can lives for 5000 or more. Some micro-organisms have been in a form of suspended animation for 200,000 years and wer able to be revived.

The increasing number of peole jst lving to 100 is causing problems in Japan. even if "only" living to 150 became common it would create huge problems. That's at least 100 years away though.
