   Sounds like you have compiler, so you can program DNA to whatever you want.   
      
   In that case, why limit lifespan to 300? why not have full regeneration?   
   Have 5 copies of your DNA in each cell, and any deviation in one strand is   
   corrected by the others.   
   Backup organs. Brains running RAID 1. carbon fiber bones. Extra stomac for   
   plutonium.   
      
   Nature don't do this because its easier to make a new one, but you don't have   
   to.   
      
   Evolution can be sudden. 200 years ago dogs only came in a few races. Now 400   
   generations later, we have hundreds ranging from 2 to 80 kg
