How to cure aging.

[threeright]

Create a dystopian society where the government stores the semen and eggs of its citizens and then make them infertile.

 

Wait until the said citizens die and if the time of their death is greater than the average life expectency of the total population, create more of them.

 

Rinse and repeat. Sure, there will be outliers and many other variables like wealth... But with law of large numbers + time, there should be some results.

 

On a more serious note, although it's too much for humans, have there been a study like this with creatures with shorter life spans like Lab Rats? Would be interesting to find the mutations that they obtain to be able to live longer
