Predetermined Biological Clock


Scientists in London have discovered a new gene placed in us all will tell how long your body has been aging. This discovering will help to protect certain people from heart diseases as well as other age related diseases.
They also discovered a new gene, TERC, which will allow a person to live for an extra three or four years of biological aging. This all means that their discovery suggests that some people are genetically supposed to age at a faster rate. Although, there are still other aspects that help to age people faster such as smoking, pollution, lack of excerse.
I feel that better understanding of how our genes work can only imporove our medicines as well as technologies. Now we are able to perfect medicines for certain types of people that way every person gets the proper treatment for them rather than the treatment that everyone else is given.
