If we want to extend life so we can maintain the health and mental flexibility of youth into two hundred or more years of active life. Also, we need to have a library of as much diverse samples of human DNA as possible incase we find that it is needed in the future. I applaud the Swedish scientists who are conducting this experiment. I hope the embryo is allowed to live. I would however make sure that a very limited number of people are given identifying information about the person if he or she is born.
