Blood test that tells you how long you?ll live

[Redrob]

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.

Once you've had a blood test result say you are going to live another 50 years you are more likely to be dead in a week doing something careless while thinking you're invincible.

That's awesome. They better make sure they are not located on a busy street. Because a healthy person will walk out of there feeling all awesome, and get hit by a bus.
