A Blood Test Tells You If You're Going to Die in the Next 5 Years

Flayed alive?

(I'm terribly sorry, the first two replies alone were pretty good.)

If one day humanity finds out how to find death times for people, think of the possibilities. We can either see more suicidal murders or suicidal missions(such as a space mission with no returning back)

I still don't see how that matters. If we get new cells every few years than everyone should be okay if you survive those five years. On the other hand, if people do have 'bad' cells then those people should be dying anywhere from one day later(after the test) to decades later.

Just because your cells are replaced five years from now won't stop you from dying next year. Plus, if you're doing something to create bad cells, like poor diet, you'll STILL be doing that after your cells are replaced. Thus you'll have the same 'bad' cells and thus should be just as likely to die after the five years post testing. So I don't see how they can be so specific it's five years.

This would be useful for if you could see well ahead if you were going to have a heart attack or something.

Probably the same day that they took all your blood... kinda seeing how you need it to live...
