"A blood test that can show how fast someone is ageing – and offers the tantalising possibility of estimating how long they have left to live – is to go on sale to the general public in Britain later this year."

Nothing a little stem cell treatment can't fix, ala Bartolo Colon.

The price of the test can be deducted from your treatment plan! :laugh:
I imagine this will be one test the health insurers will be clamoring all over themselves to provide... for FREE!

It's an amazing test. One guy said his results told him exactly what day he was going to be hit by a bus. :D

part of that article reads:

When you really get down to it, what's the difference between Colon staving off old age with this surgery and Barry Bonds doing the same with the cream and the clear? Both bring health risks, but only one has been stigmatized by those who follow the sport.
The question posed ...`what is the difference...? is irrelevant to the happening d/t referring to the stem cell surgery as `staving off old age,' when in reality it was a healing process for the torn ligaments & injuries he had sustained. Doesn't that comment imply that injured athletes should not be allowed to have repair done, because there is a chance it would improve their abilities?? Is that writer ignorant, or doing what journalists seem to be schooled to do in the past decade or so...redirect the responses of the readers/listeners by injecting falsehoods & myths?
I am curious, tho, as to what the risks are by using your own stem cells?

Well, maybe I'm being the ignorant one, but this is how the article came across to a non-sports magazine reader. And I am not anti-sports, two fine grandsons were educated because of family coaching staff in all fields.

:D But, I will say ahead of time, `Sorry if this comes across as an uneducated rant!!' :D

So does this thing make palm reading/ length of lifeline obsolete?
