Aye, that's the rub. Difficult to envision a transfection vector
quantitative and selective enough to deliver us
postembryomorphogenetically challenged morons without turning us into
a neuroblastoma garden.
I suggest waiting for medical nano (not damn likely, imo), and having
a headfreezing contract (Alcor soon to offer vitrification) as a
backup.
Time is of little significance if you coast towards future at a rate
of one second per second as an inert chunk of glassy tissue below 140
K. (If it's all for naught you've at least made a nice try for ~40 k$
worth of life insurance).
