Hi,
I'm writing a novel set in the future and wanted to find an opinion on the future possibility of determining a person's life expectancy down to a fairly specific prediction. For example, If you had a very old man and access to all of his medical information (dna, etc.), could you predict he had 24 months to live, plus or minus one month? Plus or minus a week?
Would that ever be possible?
If so:
What sort of medical info from the person would be needed?
What science breakthroughs would be needed?
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
