Chris, this is actually a very good idea.  You may want to be
careful as to whether this is a "rollback" mentally and physically
(in which case it would be interesting to see how many people would
want to lose their memories, knowledge, experiences, beliefs, etc.)
or whether this is simply a "physical" rollback.  Or some combination
of physical and selective mental rollback.

This comes up sooo often this comes up (without much progress) when one gets
a bunch of futurists together.  It came up at both the Foresight SA meeting
and the American Aging Association Board meetings this year and and related
conversations are scheduled for the WTA meeting in Aug.  It is nice to see
a fresh approach.
