the problem is that the same gene manipulation that can stop aging is like fertilizer for cancer cells..

almost every human being has cancer cells in their body. in most people they just lie dormant, but when altering the genes that stop aging it seems that the cancer cells are turned on..

i saw a documentary that said if they can figure out how to turn off those cancer cells, the sky is the limit to how long humans can extend their life..
