Can age be cured?

            Age, the disease that afflicts Man, infects them from birth and takes them in their old age, senescence. The ability to stop this, to save thousands of lives, to never see your parents die, is now within our grasp!

I have done much research in the area of age and youth, telomerase enzyme and reversatrols are obviously included in modern research; however I have an idea that I need your help proving. Have you tested this: the alteration of genes and pathways known to effect age, in addition to a change of the telomerase gene. This creates TERT as the cells divides. This is affecting one of the two cells, ergo their immortally does not effectuate tumors or cancers. This halts any aging of the body, and organs. This can be done, by a virus built of genomes synthesized in a lab.

This Virus, protected from cell overpopulation by, rescinding the senescence of one cell, which is to say, removes its age. The other "mortal" cell dies at the same rate as its quotidian compeers. Ergo, the human's age is blocked from progress; the subject is frozen at one age: twenty. The manipulation of age effecting pathways, subsuming the increase of lifespan as well as telomerase, is an supporting contrivance withal freezing senescence, age. Therefore, if the telomerase separate from support or additional measures, is not powerful enough, it is likely that combined they will remove age. Yet, alone, the Virus should make Man eternal.

Thus, I am suggesting, that a gene is created and inserted to adults, one of telomerase control. It generates this enzyme as it begins mitosis, that one of the daughter cells is immortal, however the other is not. If the body has a surplus of cells, the gene disperses the telomerase of several cells to those circumjacent, warding off cancer and tumors.

           It is thus, that Man can be immortal to some extent, unchanged by age once they attain twenty years. The elderly, can be reduced in age to twenty, and then immutably remain. The virus can be contrived, and programmed in the manner of the phage T7 genome. Built by manipulating genomes, and impelled to target the cells and alter their DNA, to ensure that at each cell division one cell is immortal, yet the other is not. And the cell releases a counter virus if its’ TERT levels are too high, that induces phagocytosis in the nearby cells, forces those cells to engulf and consume them.

Or, a second option, is that the virus simultaneously forces the cell to explode, and incites pinocytosis in the nearby cells, that the TERT overpopulated cells’ telomerase, is distributed among its siblings. Once this is done, the cells continue as normal, their virus preventing over population of telomerase, by converting it to RNA polymerases and uses it in mitosis.
So, I ask that you give me a moment of your time, the supplies, or even just pass the message on that I need the equipment. This, is the stuff of science fiction. Your help can make it real; defend the veritable droves of children, from the indescribable horror of their parent's demise at death's ragged hand.
