Interesting article. Reminds me of the more general point about severe calorie restriction significantly extending lifespan, though I don't know if they've identified a specific genetic reason for that, yet.

If you ask me, we'll all be living to 200 pretty soon.

But in the scenario you suggest, it seems to me that the main implications would be social. How did he come by his genome? Are they modifying people that way? If so, who decides who is eligible? Is it only the rich, or the 'intelligent', or.....you get the picture.....

But what is it that makes people view him/them as demigods?
