    Would you take the test?

    There is a new test which will tell you your ‘biological age’.

    The piece does not make it very clear but then this is the Daily Mail. My guess is the is the lenth of your telomeres gives you your adverage life span - current age = how much you have left.

    Can you put it as a company expense? I may have a thought over it then, otherwise not interested.

      I've already done death clock, I'm due to peg out at 92, but I picked all the best question options to get that. My mate did it and he's already dead according to it.

        No I wouldn't, but I wonder how long it takes before insurers demand this for life or health insurance and banks demand it for mortgages.

          A very long time, because it will be illegal to do so.
          While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              Some people who have had a near death experience like a car crash etc. do go on to change their lives.

              If you knew you might have only 5 more years, what would you change?

                5 years ?
                If I knew my health would stay the way it is. I probably wouldnt change much
                I need to work to pay for me holidays, and when I'm not working I am boozing or on holiday

                maybe make a bigger effort to kill that fluffy black cat thats terrorising our moggies at the moment

                  Nothing, you should always assume you can die at anytime, thats why I don't waste my life trying to become "popular" on a internet forum.

                    The test is flawed, as if you know the answer you can then change your lifestyle to beat the system, or get hit by a bus the next day, either way its what you get for reading the Daily Fail
