Would you pay to know if you're going to die prematurely?
 

Genomic profiling - pay a few hundred $ and get your genomic fingerprint laid out before you to know if you're in the 95th percentile of a genetic mutation that will give you cancer X.

Or maybe you've got a perfect genetic blueprint.

Would you pay $900 to know genetically who you are?

Should we personally be reading our own book?

Many others (cheaper too) offer this service

No refcode, so feel free to order :winkwink:

I just live each day like it's the last. I don't think we'll ever be able to know when the end will come.

Uh...no thanks. On top of that being really depressing, there are so many other things that could kill you. I would prefer to live life each day and not be concerned that the grim reaper is right around the corner with every move I make.

i just get up every morning and blast Final Fight, there is no tomorrow

Tomorrow isn't coming, that day won't be here. What you do to pass your time will ruin your next years. I can't be your savior; I won't be your guardian angel. And when's the right time for you to slap your own hand. Put it down and put it away. Enough's enough, you've had that today. Nature will take its course and you will waste away. You are your biggest enemy, the biggest harm to yourself. Today's the day. Do something impossible. We are the ones that we've been waiting for.

Today's the day. Do something impossible.

Today's the day. Do something impossible.

I'd like to think that if I knew I was going to die tomorrow, I wouldn't be on GFY tonight ;)

I don't mean though "to die on day XX of year YYYY", but to know you're going to die a horrible disease, maybe in your 40s.

Or maybe if your kids are going to get your breast cancer?

After all, I thought what stands humans apart from the rest of the animals on this planet, is the "need to know". Is the thought of your own death that horrible?

Hmmmmm. If I knew for sure that it was legit and not a scam, I may try it.

I would definitely pay to know SOMEONE ELSE is going to die, depending on who it is.

Your profile would tell you that you would be dead within 6 months because you fuck queer men in the ass. Don't you get it yet faggot? You're a queer, lol. What's so fucking hard to understand ? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

for sure, but don't have cash

yea, then you could treat it early and prevent it?

And that right there is why it is a crock of shit... The best they can do is GUESS and then they get to run to the bank with your money. There are just to many things that can trigger a gene or cell to mutate and it isn't always some malfunction within YOU.

Cancer is merely a class of diseases caused by the unchecked or uncontrolled growth of healthy cells. If these people think they are so smart in predicting your death date and parting you from your money, why aren't they taking it a step further? Like being PROACTIVE...

If they claim to be able to see it before hand then surely they can stop it at the source before it happens... right? Oh but they can't... because the causes are to numerous to actually prevent it, therefore far to numerous to actually give an accurate guess at when you will die.

It is a scam and no better than running to a psychic with the same question. They just have science on their side which will attract those who would laugh at going to a psychic but it boils down to the same thing.

I'd like to know what my genetic predispositions are. That's pretty much it.

If you knew a god and told you can live forever but you cant have sex whould you take it.. this means minor masterbation but no physical or mental or anyway with any other person/being/essance.

whould you try..

also what whould you do if it was a 50/50 pill

50% you whould have to get jack rammed by metal poles all day well thats if you deny the word but if you might live a regular life but you still have that 50/50 chance.

I don't want to know that shit... it would simply ruin the little I have left to live.

no bc i would live the rest of my days in fear

I know Im gonna die.

It is not a scam and 100% legit. Yes, certain cancers arise from spontaneous mutations, but many are the result of genetic predisposition, passed down to you from your parents.

Of course, it doesn't mean you WILL get such a disease, but it means you are XX% more likely to and so you could change your lifestyle accordingly if there was evidence that whatever you are predisposed to get is affected by changing XYZ.

For example if you were predisposed to develop Alzheimers, would you carry on smoking pot when there is evidence that pot smokers predisposed for Alzheimers develop symptoms much earlier in life (10 years) than non-pot smokers?

Bullshit, why would you want to know that? That sucks. Although I'm sure quite a few monkey will spring for this *deal*..

Buddy you are in need of a new prescription..

Is it possible to die before your time is up?!

You completely missed my point... Can they find such things in your genetic profile that gives you a predisposition for certain hereditary or marker that show the tendency to mutate into disease? YES...

Can they tell you WHEN or even IF that will happen? NO
Everyone of us contains MANY dangerous genetic time bombs but for most of us they remain dormant and never become active.

Can they tell you WHEN you are going to die? NO
I have known people who have been diagnosed with terminal diseases and given a time frame in which they might expect to live. Not only did one completely exceed that time frame but she went into remission where she stays to this day.

It is a probability crap shoot and a percentage game, just like the one a psychic plays.

At best they can tell you what to watch out for and what you are predisposed to but certainly not the claims made in the misleading thread title.

steady on there cowboy - I never said this stuff can tell you exactly when you will die.

You are reading too much into it - what I said is it will tell you if you are predisposed to develop disease X, Y, Z

And yes, the thread title is deliberately sensational, because after all, this is GFY.
