The dream of immortal people is at the door.
The scientists reverse the aging clock and "Restore Age-Related Vision Loss Through Epigenetic Reprogramming "(1) is one of the most interesting things, which I just read on the Internet. The reprogramming of the aging cells is one of the things that will expand our lifetime. And sometimes people ask is it possible to make immortal people.
The fact is that by using advanced nanotechnology, what can change the DNA or genomes inside the cells. Theoretically, that thing would make the people immortal because aging is the result of the imperfect copying of the DNA, and that thing would make the cells eldering. Storing the DNA in the digital form making it stable. The digital form means the instructions on how to put the base-pairs in the right position.
Of course, telomers are in a big role in the eldering process, but another thing is that the entire DNA is vibrating because of the radioactive radiation. And also the chemicals are affecting the DNA's ability to duplicate itself.
The thing that we can call the source of the forever youth might be nanotechnology, which can create the new DNA for the person. In this case, the DNA of the person will store in the memory of the computer. Then the nanotechnology can make the artificial DNA for the person. After that, the nanomachines can change the DNA inside the nucleus of the cells.
The thing is that by using the DNA the phenotype of the person can change by researchers. That thing happens by injecting the artificial virus into the body of the targeted person. And if that thing happens the people can change their outfit. But the practical solution requires a little bit more than artificial viruses.
The old DNA must remove from the cells, but also the DNA of the mitochondria and other cell organs must replace. So the practical solution requires a high number of nanomachines and a high accuracy for the injection system. The DNA can make by using nanorobots what can put the base pairs in the right places in the entirety.
Or the DNA can take as the DNA sample, and then by using PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) copy that DNA. The last thing requires that the DNA would store in the zero kelvin degrees. Then there would be three or more copies of that genetic material that will renew in the PCR-chamber.
The problem with this type of storage is that every time, when the team uses the sample of the DNA it will face the heat. And then there is the possibility that the molecule is damaged.
