To be quite honest, this video scares me just a bit. Michio Kaku presents the theory that in a time frame of ten years we will be able to put our entire genetic make up on a disc. This disc would only cost $1,000, whereas currently the cost would be around $50,000. This drastic price decrease is due to rapidly-changing technology. That isn't the scary part. He believes we will be able to determine based on genetic studies what causes aging. With that knowledge we would be able to repair the aging genes and prolong life. Scary right?
