Blood test that tells you how long you?ll live

Saw this on the Levine Breaking News today:

A blood test that can show how fast someone is ageing ? and offers the tantalizing possibility of estimating how long they have left to live ? is to go on sale to the general public in Britain later this year. The controversial test measures vital structures on the tips of a person?s chromosomes, called telomeres, which scientists believe are one of the most important and accurate indicators of the speed at which a person is ageing.

No Fear, Just Knowledge.
