Only if you re-engineer all of them. Otherwise all you do is add a few
more genes to the pool that the grand sweep of evolution will select
from. They are useful, or they aren't.
But we'll become a new species someday anyway, who knows what traits
will be useful or not?

I think they are going down a wrong track and are limited by their
ignorance.
That's OK, nature is blind and wouldn't care if we were smart or not.
Survival is the only judgement for a species, I can't see how anything
people do genetically to each other will affect the whole race if it
stops them reproducing.
And techniques for longevity have been around for
centuries. It's a part of Ayurveda.
LOL, it's part of the brochure for ayurveda but I haven't noticed my
friends living longer or healthier lives.
You've never heard of Kayakalpa? And your friends probably didn't
either. Look it up. In a nutshell it's alternating reduction techniques
(detoxification) and tonification (rejuvenation). Probably not part of
the MAPI scheme.
