Science is always getting ahead of itself, bypassing the simple things it cannot solve, and dabbling on into much more complex areas it certainly will not figure out. Solve the common cold and flu, and then let's talk about reversing the aging process.
Americans are alarmingly getting physically worse off as time goes on. What achievements can Science really boast of in light of that?
"No, the worm daf genes are involved in the insulin signaling pathway that feeds into TOR signaling, itself important in determining worm lifespan (eg see Cox 2009 Rejuvenation Research Sept 2 2009 doi:10.1089/rej.2009.0894). The WRN exonuclease is important in DNA metabolism, preventing inappropriate DNA recombination during DNA replication or repair. An excess of damage to the DNA of the genome resulting from WRN loss is through to contribute to ageing."
Man... western technology. It brings the sh** on...
Intellegence... rest of the world worships some old wize man... the west: "umm... electronic computer"
Entertainment... rest of the world dresses in costumes and dances around... the west: "watch the moon on tv while you drink a soda and eat dinner"
Transportation... rest of the world walks or travels on horse, if they even have one... the west: "take a seat and watch the world go by"
War... 1 word: Nuke

There a person born with a anti-aging gene she never age she look like baby all her 18 year of her life. just look up child froze in time

when I graduate I do intend on pursuing a career in microbiology and aging is a subject that I would like to study

NORMAL DOES NOT MEAN RIGHT.
The fact is IT'S NOT NORMAL.
It's ABNORMAL.
Aging is a disease.

Any relation to their gene and the Daf genes in Round worms?

Dr Cox says:
"No, the worm daf genes are involved in the insulin signaling pathway that feeds into TOR signaling, itself important in determining worm lifespan (eg see Cox 2009 Rejuvenation Research Sept 2 2009 doi:10.1089/rej.2009.0894).

An excess of damage to the DNA of the genome resulting from WRN loss is through to contribute to ageing."
Hope this helps.

the aging gene isn't reversible however it maybe able to be slowed down
we wont live for an extra 200years, i think somewhere between 10-20 years is a reasonable suggestion

do you need to be a egg cell to have this gene or can it be injected into a human?
if not hurry up and figure it out il pay anything for it..

if the gene is identified and fully understood is aging reversible, or is it a one way process?

@mARK5000100
On TED, many experts on geneology and aging have shown it will be quite reversible in the future (think 2050 or along those lines).
One even claimed they'd have a "cure" in 2030.
