This is a peer reviewed study for David Sinclair's experiment on mice, in which he was able to reverse the aging process. This, if researched further, can lead to eternal, or at the very least extended, youth. According to Gomes (2013), as mice and, by extension, people age there is a breakdown of genes which results in age (Declining NAD+). While it does not directly answer the question "should biotechnology be used to extend human life" it will provide the readers or audience with both current events and some background on our topic.
