Clues in DNA reveal how long you'll live

www.dailymail.co. uk

Scientists have found a way to predict how long someone will live – by measuring their genes as a baby.

Life expectancy is written into our DNA and is there to be seen from the day we are born.

This changes the game altogether ,your whole life could be mapped out , the power that this information carries in the wrong hands is frightning , if they decide that the info is to be kept from the individual , this would not happen , because someone would challenge , maybe take it all the way to the European court of human rights for sure.

I'm not sure I'd want to know.

Makes life a wee bit more enjoyable NOT knowing.

Now if my employment, health benefits were based on such a reading then I'd consider that to be an invasion of privacy and sue the snot out of them.

Yeah, it looks like we don't have to worry about what we eat or drink, how much exercise we do or our environment anymore!

They're just saying this so they can offer us longer life in the future by genetically modifying us...

very true, stress would surely play a part a well ? eg take 2 twins, if one had a relaxed comfortable life compared to another that did something very stressful would the stress not make that one age faster? Plus yeah pollutants, even illness at one point, anti bioetics etc, intersting stuff though, perhaps possible to one day count how many years we do in fact waste through drink,drugs poor eating etc.

Who says all this health stuff is true? Outside of the typical "vegans live longer", "do sport, live longer" propaganda crap, it's not really proven. People died doing sport or exercising, people died because of malnutrition, people died of lung cancer even though they never smoked. I think it's to simple (but typical for humans) to look at the easiest solution and say "do this and this and you live longer", without any realy proof.
If it was the case of what you're saying, shouldn't ALL people who smoke die young? Yet there are some who reach 85-90 years or even more, despite smoking a pack a day. What about fat people? Shouldn't they all die by 40 at your logic? Yet someone like Alfred Hitchcock reached 80 years.
Life is not as simple as you think.

I see what you are saying, but is it scientifically proven that a healthy life style will reduce your risk of developing serious life threatening illness which will play a factor. Of course not everyone will develop illnesses and not everyone will be lucky enough to evade it, but as mentioned above there are too many variables to take into consideration when calculating life expectancy not just a quick look at your genetic make up at birth.
