Just a thought on the Bio Clock

I was pondering today.
I was pondering whether or not our biological clocks are time stamped at birth, which is to say within our DNA string there is a coiled spring similar to a stop watch which has a certain amount of windings and when it finally winds down , that's it.Regardless.

If this was the case it would certainly answer a lot of questions that at the moment are finding the tech heads confused.Like, how come certain people survive smoking and living a life of Sodom and Gomorrah whereas certain healthy people drop off early.

Certain activities would certainly unwind the spring a lot quicker, including too much training and not enough rest, which is not a good thing.

They also say stress puts you in a box quicker.Another tie to the coils unwinding. In fact anything that pushes the thyroid gland which I reckon is the winder of the clock spring gets you a shorter life time.

As I said, just pondering. If this was the case they are now talking about patenting parts of DNA so in the future you actually have to pay to bring life into the world.Research is becoming so advanced that maybe if I have any relevant point to my pondering we could in fact tap into the coiled spring and extend it.Now that would be an interesting prospect..
