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?

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.

3. No i don't think people should be able to be engineered to have high levels of the two enzymes unless it is for curing cancer. I don't think any one should live forever even though i would like too, i don't think it would be a good idea. If everyone started living forever we would be increasing the amount of produce and resources we use up. There for most of the age-less will die from starvation (over-population). No it should definitely not be allowed to happen in children, But if this does ever happen it should be like after your 22 years old. I know death is scary and we would all like to avoid it, but it would be in best interest for future generations that we did not live forever.
