I'm very interested in learning about gene manipulation projects and the morality of this delicate issue.

I was reading up on how it is theorized one day we could live to be 1000 and how it wasnt a very farfetched concept
If you have any links or your own input on the subject I would greatly appreciate your contribution, thanks.

Why wasn't it a farfetched concept?

And what kind of gene manipulation projects are you referring to?
