Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) have found a fast and effective way to investigate important aspects of human ageing. Working at the University of Oxford and The Open University, Dr Lynne Cox and Dr Robert Saunders have discovered a gene in fruit flies that means flies can now be used to study the effects ageing has on DNA. In new work published today in the journal Aging Cell, the researchers demonstrate the value of this model in helping us to understand the ageing process.

"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."
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

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

Hope this helps.

if not hurry up and figure it out il pay anything for it..
