<<Would you allow your genes changed so that you would age very slowly and live a
healthy life to, say, 300?>>

No!!! I see myself as part of a natural, organic WHOLE, and believe after some study of the matter that genetic engineering poses too great a risk to that whole for it to continue. This is what all those Europeans who are engaged in civil unrest, actually destroying crops, are saying as well, incidentally.

There are already WAY too many humans for the earth to support happily. Why on earth shoule we stay around for 300 years? You can pretty much bet that only the rich and powerful and those lucky enough to live in very rich nations would be living that long, anyway. It seems dangerous to the public good, and very unfair and inequitable.
