  1. Mitochondria are bacteria that were hijacked by mammal cells
    about a billion yeas ago (interestingly in the first 4b
    years of the earth's total 5b there was no life ) and
    produce energy in the cells . New Scientist article May 29
    shows that mice which had mitochondria which mutate twioce
    as fast as normal aged twice as fast . So we need a virus
    which can fix these mitochondrial gene defects if we want to
    live for ever.
