SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the feasibility of preventing or repairing mutations that contribute to aging by increasing the number of gene and chromosome copies. Participants express skepticism regarding the scientific basis of such an approach, emphasizing the complexity of aging at a cellular level. The conversation highlights a lack of understanding of cellular biology and the mechanisms of aging, ultimately leading to the conclusion that the discussion lacks scientific merit and will be closed.
