1) Explain why increasing the amounts of the two enzymes changed the life spans of the mice.

2) Express your opinion about whether people should be engineered to have high levels of the two enzymes. Should people have the option to do this if they would like? Should parents be allowed to have it done to their children? Is it okay to do it to stop cancer but not okay to do it to stop aging?

1. The two enzymes p53 and Arf, were injected with a genetically engineered technique, and made the mice live longer than a normal mouse. 

2. I think every one should be introduce to the two enzymes because there are many people out there dyeing from health conditions and disease and i think if this was put out there would be a lesser death rate.
