Tikker, the clock that tells the time of your death

If you were told that you're going to die tomorrow, what would you do in your final hours This question we sometimes make between jokes or just give flight to our imagination could be very present in our day to day if we wear a clock with counting down the time left. The bizarre idea straight out of the movie "In Time", Justin Timberlake, has been brought to reality. The Swedish researcher has created Fredrik Colting tikker, namely "death watch" pointing the years, months, days, minutes and seconds left until the owner is gone from this world. "The life of each one of us does not have an expiration date and although they tend to avoid the argument, death is not a surprise to none and although not negotiable, it is life itself. This is why we must learn to love and seize every moment, following our hearts, "says Colting.

A questionnaire

However, before starting the clock, its future owner will have to answer a series of questions with no scientific basis on your medical and family history (cases of allergy or chronic diseases) and about their consumption habits (alcohol, smoke, diet), physical activity practice and the weight. After counting points the user will get the date of his death and the tikker will consume the remaining time.

"The idea of developing this experiment came after the death of grandfather, who made ​​me think about the frailty of life and made ​​me understand the importance of enjoying every moment, because if we were all aware that we would realize our end approaches certainly better choices.
