Aging clocks promise time-to-death—but I’d rather not know
Op-ed writer Helen Pilcher examines a new Harvard-led “molecular clock” that claims to measure biological age and predict time to death, noting it’s still for research and could speed anti-aging trials or inform policy. She cautions that such results are probabilistic and can shape how people view aging—something she would rather not know—preferring to focus on healthier living despite the Kardashians using a similar test as an example.
