Interesting concept, but how can they know the outcome before it has been tested? How would the know there are no side-effects? It seems to me they are assuming this, but is there any real proof?

Sorry to be sceptical. I do like the idea & think it should be investigated. But I don't think we can be sure about long term effects. Do we know why people who have Down's syndrome never used to live all that long?
