Yesterday 11/08/2013 scientists at Lanchester University came out and told the news that they have invent a machine that can tell you how long you have left to live!!
A laser that predicts when you are going to die has been invented by scientists.
The beam is painless and can also be used to test for diseases including cancer and dementia.
It comes in a wrist watch-style device that analyses tiny cells inside the capillaries the smallest blood vessels to work out how quickly the body will age.
The laser examines how well these cells function and generates an estimate of how long a person will live.
Grades, rated from 0, meaning death, to 100, equalling optimum function, are then used by scientists to calculate how long a person has left to live.
It has been created by Aneta Stefanovska and Peter McClintock, physics professors from Lancaster University.
Professor Stefanovska said said: Im hoping we will build a database that will become larger and larger, so every person measured can be compared against it.
We will then be in a position to tell them the values [that] predict a certain number of years.
The device is expected to be available to doctors within the next three years.
Is this a good thing or will it just worry people?

That's interesting. I wonder if it's actually accurate though.

Well I don't ever want to use it, it'd be creepy knowing approximately when you are going to die

I would take the test, would give me an estimate of how much time I have left and could even get me to start thinking things over. I'm actually kinda curious to know as to when I'm going to die because in all honesty knowing when you're going to die is a freedom for me. I'm not saying I want to die but knowing when I would die would be a better relief on me instead of carrying the weight of not knowing when it will happen.
