Scientifically, if you want to find a cure for drug overdosed – you need to find a suitable candidate who had survived countless of drug overdosed cases and then, identify related genes that has the ability of metabolized drugs better than other people via DNA sequencing.
In this case, a genetics company has found the right candidate for this study – he’s Ozzy Osbourne a.k.a. the Prince of Darkness. To find out more about it – watch the clip above.

A study from Boston University and Italy has successfully identified longevity genes based on a large group of 1,055 senior citizens – who attain the age of 100 years old and above. It’s also important in screening for age-related diseases and tailoring the use of medicines,
According to Bloomberg Businessweek:
Testing for a genetic pattern found in centenarians may predict with 77 percent accuracy which people are among the 3 in 1,000 Americans with the DNA to live past age 100, a study found.
