Gene Modification for Immortality?

This is some serious research being done in China, identifying genes to modify to extend life.

We are almost ready to connect the dots. We have CRISPR that is becoming a more and more sophisticated gene editing tool. And we know that one of the primary mechanisms of aging is the “senescent” cell (sometimes called a “zombie” cell) that no longer functions but is not dead, and which secretes chemicals that interfere with cellular functions, making you age faster.

This is a good step, have a look.
