Not sure, but I did call an "anti-aging" physician in the area who informed
me that a telomere analysis is one of the services they offer. I didn't ask
the price of that particular service but assumed that it was not completely
outlandish. Find some similar type doc in your area (they're listed at the
LEF site) and get some pricing info. The two I've called want to market an
anti-aging package deal ranging from $1500-$5000.
Determining LE reminds me of that Futurama episode where the doctor has
invented a "death clock". Stick your finger in it and it will tell you the
exact date and time of your death.
"Cool." he said, and stuck his finger in the receptacle. "Is it really that
accurate?"
"Well, there is an error margin of a few seconds due to free will." the
doctor replied.
Looking at the results, Bender said, "Uh-oh. Can I have your stereo?"
