        There’s no reason gene editing can’t extend life expectancy

        They have more efficient DNA repair system. It doesn't sound as catchy as this title, but it sounds more accurate.

        "Efficient" doesn't seem like the correct word though it is the word they use. I'd say "accurate" would be better, as one of the genes they identify has the effect of causing cells with repair errors to die. That seems to me to be less efficient, more accurate. What do I know.
