    O wow! that is a question that tops all the others. Is there something in each of us that tells exactly how long we have been living, like the growth rings in the trunk of a tree? I have read there is some extra information at the end of our DNA helix that influences how long we live. I have never read of something meaningful at the beginning of our DNA. I do hope there is a genetic scientist in this forum to give us a comment on this.

    I would suggest seeing a physician about figuring out your age. They can give you information about aging and possibly help you figure out if you're the age that your documents claim you to be.

    Hi all this is something I think about a lot as so many children are coming to

    Live here and attend our schools and they have no idea when they were born so their age is guessed by a goverment official it must really be something that plays on your mind I would guess , would be very interested if anyone knows the answer to this so will follow the thread I was wondering do you feel that 41 us the correct age for you or not? Do we ever feel our age ? Not sure about that but I do hope you get some answers Tina x
