If we took a mandatory DNA sample after adolescence could we not store it and use CRISPR or a modified virus like HIV to re-deliver that DNA later in life to every cell in the body in order to reverse some effects of aging?
I guess it would have to be targeted to specific cell types so we don't end up resetting the immune system to an earlier point in time, or maybe focus efforts on not targeting specific areas.

I'm utterly convinced that we should all try to secure a workable sample of our DNA as early as possible, it may hold the key to reversing anything that happens to it later in life. What is the best way to do that right now?
