Testing that will tell you when you'll die!

Scientists recently discovered a way to read a chemical footprint in the blood that can provide clues to an infant's heath and a rate of aging throughout their life. With this development, it may be possible for doctors to prematurely fight of aging conditions or complications that may come with again. Researchers cited 22 metabolites that are linked to chronological age and how we age. Looking further into this shows that how we age is strongly related to health at birth and epigenetic factors. Many things affect how we age but this discovery may be able to pave a way for future therapies and cures for age related diseases. 

This amazes me because it makes me think that we may be getting into an area of science where we're actually able to predict and alter the lifespan of infants. This may just terrify me. Think of how it would effect the mentality of the entire Earth if we each had any idea of how and when we could die. This would cause organized chaos and could even bring new laws and new government structures along with every other discovery we've made lately. Now this is completely taking it really far and just sounds like a dream but I feel like it's scary to think that things like this could be normal in the near future.
