Why the hell can't our dna regenerate our cells with optimum information?  Rather than ageing us?
Can scientists ever manipulate our dna and create the "fountain of youth"? I think so.

What if scientists could make a younger version of you in a machine and give it all of your memories? Would you let them kill you and let the newer better version live on in your place?

No, I wouldn't.

This is somewhat similar to robvalue's VR thread, and thus my answer would also be similar. I would not because I am attached to the me that is currently typing this post, not to that other version of me who I would see as a separate entity from me.
