Yes and as I already noted Juicer TECHNOLOGY has the limited lifespan because it's unnatural, there's nothing unnatural about genetic modifications...
Um... there is everything unnatural about that. If genetic modifications were natural, then they wouldn't be...uh...modifications.

When you modify the people you've tweaked them so that everything about it is natural to them, natural stuff doesn't shorten your lifespan because it's natural. It's a bit ridiculous to insist 'oh it'll burn them out because it's JUICER' when you can eugenically modify someone with far better bonuses than a Juicer has and they'll be just fine (depending on any optional 'side-effects' tables). Really, it's not a Juicer, it's someone modified to be just like a juicer without the dangerous chemicals and stuff.
OK. I agree that it's not the same as Juicer modification. Of course it's not a juicer at all. Blaze straight up stated that his character had Juicer comversion (hense the bio-comp harness). A Gene-Splicer "Juicer" wouldn't need a harness.

OK. But the "normal" life expectacy of a human with Jucier conversion is 5-7 years. Therefore the Splicers would HAVE to add years to his life (if that were possible). The problem with Juicer conversion is that the toll the drugs take on the human body brakes it down. And if he removed the juicer harness he'd go through detox and lose stats just like anyone else ---genetically altered or not. Oh BTW, in real life people with giantism (and a 7' 5" 500 lbs human is a figgin' giant by any definition) tend to live a shorter life span as it is.
But again as I noted already unless you're a diabolical sort odds are you'll likely end up looking like some sort off freak as they love to take evil sorts and leave them looking great and taking the good sorts and making them look like monsters.
Good point. And if you read Blaze's discription of that character he appears 100% human (a 7' 5" human, but human none the less). Which is bogas because he's been genetically alter (we don't know if it's Gene Slpicers or not) and had Bio-Wizard enhancments, which are almoast always disfigure the subject.
