@St_Rev Telomere reverse transcriptase is a thing. Cures some age-related conditions in mice, but quite likely to give you cancer instead.
What would be the health impact of something like that? How long until we can do it?

@explodingjudas Yeah, that's why you'd need to combine it with a gene audit--that's the factory-settings part. -
@St_Rev Aha. Is there any technology with resolution to audit genes? Maybe something that kills cells selectively? Makes a cancer cure too! -
@explodingjudas Not on any kind of practical scale. There's been at least one 'synthetic' bacterium made tho: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/05/scientists-create-first-self-replicating-synthetic-life/ … -
@St_Rev Very cool. So the science appears to be good - the rest is coding and engineering...
