Test To Tell You When You Will Die (ethical, deaths, Obama)

[LauraC]

If course, it excludes accidental deaths.

"SCIENTISTS have patented a “death test” that can tell people how long they have left to live. The simple, non-invasive test is the first of its kind in the world. A painless laser pulse is applied to the surface of the skin through a wristwatch-style device. This measures how a person’s body will decline with age by analysing endothelial cells. These cells line the smallest blood vessels, capillaries, in our bodies and respond to complex activity elsewhere in the body."

Raise your hand if you see this as yet another way for the bureaucratic Obamacare "death panel" to deny treatment.

This kind of paranoia is an illness. It's not on the market yet, and no one is going to force you to do it. Has anyone forced you to do DNA testing, which could also predict negative health outcomes?

The paranoia you refer to is found in dc within the desperate criminals who would use any technology at their disposal to retain and enhance their power over the general populace.
When such new technology came about in the past,I wonder did people imagine the government would use it read mail,listen to phone conversations or observe them in their backyards from the heavens...

Anyone would think otherwise is either purposely disingenuous or incredibly naive.

I don't wanna know, it would probably say I was already dead.

Seek help for these delusions or you're going to spend your life cowering under your bed.

What part of her statement was delusional? It's all over the news that even die hard liberals are now agreeing with what Sarah Palin said regarding death panels:

Harrier thinks that he will die before he turns 40.

That will be about the time that President Obama leaves office, which should give something for people on both sides of the aisle to celebrate.

Why worry? We all know the history of the world shows government always acts benevolently.

Law making involving ethical behavior is always a few years behind technology. If you don't think the government and big corporations are going to use a tool that's available to save some money on a costly program, you are the one that is delusional.

Anybody read the entire article?
Did it give an accuracy odds level.....like there's a 50% chance of the test being wrong?
And how many years will it take to 'prove' it?
In the meantime it does sound like the perfect present for a hypochondriac.
