English to Spanish: Is there a limit to the human life span? General field: Other
Source text - English Is there a limit to the human life span?
A caustic debate over whether there’s a limit to how long people can live erupted again this week, with scientists writing in Nature that we’re close to hitting a wall. It has been almost 20 years since the death of the world’s oldest person, 122-year-old French woman Jeanne Calment (above). The new study adds fuel to the fire: Jan Vijg, the senior author and chair of the genetics department at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, and his colleagues used a large database to argue that historic gains in human longevity are slowing to a crawl, perhaps because of inherent life span limits buried in our genome.
Translation - Spanish ¿Hay un límite a la duración de la vida humana?
Un debate cáustico sobre si hay un límite en la cantidad de años que las personas pueden vivir, estalló de nuevo esta semana entre los científicos que escriben en la revista Nature, que estamos tan cerca de estrellarnos contra una pared. Han transcurrido ya casi 20 años desde la muerte de la persona más vieja del mundo, la francesa Jeanne Calment (arriba) de 122 años de edad. El nuevo estudio añade más leña al fuego: Jan Vijg, el autor principal y director del departamento de genética en el Albert Einstein College of Medicine de Nueva York, y sus colegas utilizaron una gran base de datos para argumentar que las ganancias históricas en la longevidad humana se están desacelerando rápidamente; tal vez debido a los límites inherentes de la duración de la vida, los cuales están enterrados en nuestro genoma.
