For once I'm a little iffy on Wikipedia - the first article mentions the Hayflick limit - which suggests that there is, in fact, a defined upper limit to lifespan (Assuming, of course, that we don't find a way to bypass it) - but then goes on to say that "No fixed theoretical limit to human longevity is apparent today," without really making clear the distinction between the claims.

There are various methods for bypassing the hayflick limit, so even though we know of the limitation, we are aware that it can be bypassed.

That's not a problem in the first place. Brain cells divide like any other cell, adding neurons would do all kinds of shit, but wouldn't help you live longer.

every time has is own living time
maybe after 200 years they will get old at 50-60 or less!
but how long we will live until the judgement day comes thats unknowable
Global life expectancy and life span is increasing, even if you can anecdotally say "my grandfather and grandmother lived longer than my father" the averages are still increasing.
