Hey, here's an idea. Someone here once told me that there's
"simply too much too replace" referring to DNA replacement in an
immortality scheme that would involve replacing entire damaged DNA
strands with a fresh master copy. I pointed out that bacteria and viruses
replace pieces of DNA (or all of it-I don't know) in host cells
routinely, but if they can't replace the entire strand, then they could
probably replace parts.
O.K. O.K. If that doesn't work, how about sending in modified
sperms to do the job? They're perfectly suited for the job. Maybe someone
could genetically engineer a phagocytic sperm, one that would devour the
existing faulty DNA copy and leave a fresh one in its place?
Any thoughts on this?
