Subject: storing your dna now could give longevity later?

Always on the lookout for something that will provide longevity so 
that the cryonics technology available at the time of my death will 
be as advanced as possible, I remember receiving a message in 
connection with a service which would store your dna. 
At the time I received the message I did not fully appreciate the
implications for longevity. There is a chance that, in the future,
technology may exist to reinvigorate our aging cells by employing
the methods of genetic engineering to infuse them with fresh copies
of our mitocondrial dna. By taking a "snapshot" of our dna at our 
current age, which would hopefully have a copy with less information 
loss.

Does anyone remember seeing this message or know of such a service?
