Blood Test Predicts When You’ll Die

Summary:

　Do you want to know when you will die? It’s a scary question for almost all of us, but that could be answered using a new blood test. Spanish scientists have invented a test that can tell how much longer you will live. The $700 test san measure the length of telomeres in our DNA. Telomeres control how often our red blood divide to make new ones and are responsible for aging. They terminate how long we live. The company behind the project says the test will give people views how they are aging. So people can know the speed of aging and when the end might come. There are of course critics and they have been attack the test. They say it is unethical, unreliable, and could lead illegality of using it such as insurance.
　On the other hand, researchers say the test could lead to breakthroughs in illnesses which is related to the ages. Professor Jerry Shay, a consultant for Life Length, said people are right to be careful of the new test. He said: "People might say, 'If I know I'm going to die in 10 years, I'll spend all my money now', or 'If I'm going to live for 40 years, I'll be more conservative in my lifestyle'.

Opinion:

I think it is very scary but going to be popular at the same time. You can see above, some agree with idea and others don't. If you can use this, do you want to? I think I would not take this test. It is because if I know when I will die, I can not think about anything. Before I die, I want to do as many things as I can. Also if I know when i will die, I could have plans for my life. But I do not think it is fun or anything. I wanna live as it actually is. And there will be more crimes because of this test. Before someone is gonna die, you can insure his life and could get money for it. It is not what it is for, but since a lot of people in this world, it could happen. I do not want any more crimes. So I think is is very good idea for local people. It will be good for just researchers or studies. They just have to observe the law.
