The Road to Human Immortality: Genetic Engineering

Have you ever imagined a future when humans become immortals? A time in hundreds of years ahead of time where no one has to 'die' and anyone can be rebooted and bring back to life. There is no 'Fountain of Youth' but humans have always been fascinated in extending one's lifespan. Our technological advancements will enable us to conquer our own mortality. 

There is no such thing as a wonder drug that can cure everything but genetic engineering in the future would make it possible to remove incurable diseases before you are born. In fact, every possible 'bad gene' would be erased before any human imperfection would materialize. Soon humans won't age at all! Such development would involve technologies that include:

1. Implementing aging diagnostics in the clinic
2. Evaluating drug efficacy based on aging and longevity markers
3. Improving the methods of delivering genetic material to the human body
4. Studying genes associated with longevity
5. Extending lifespan of old mice using genes associated with longevity
6. Developing "evolutionary drugs" using artificial selection to create symbiotes that increase lifespan
7. Creating a database of connections between different "omics" (genomics, proteomics, etc.) of the aging process
8. Developing a unified aging theory and its mathematical model
9. Creating transgenic animals that don't age
10. Screening different therapy combinations for longevity in mice
11. Creating anti-aging medicine
