Could a cure for progeria syndrome lead to the "fountain of youth"?

Who knows???: First we need to understand the cure or Rx for progeria, then it can be tested to see if it has broader application. In the meantime, we know a lot about what shortens life: obesity, lack of exercise, smoking and complications of those like diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease, but most of us would rather have a pill than do the hard work it takes to stay fit.

Hard to know.: There is no cure for Progeria currently.
