This is our initial data set (our control, if you prefer) recorded at 1800GMT, 31st December 2017:
Sex: Male
Age: 46.67
Height: 184cm
Weight: 99.4kg
BMI: 29.4
The subject no longer smokes, but is overweight, consumes far too much alcohol on a daily basis, has a semi-sedentary lifestyle and frequently crosses the road without looking both ways.
There's a reasonable chance that the subject will die this year, probably from coronary problems, inattention to fast-moving traffic or being scared to death by a children's entertainer.
The subject's stress levels are difficult to determine, because of his regular self-medication. He expects that his professional life may become more stressful and demanding in the coming months. He anticipates some wrangling with faceless authorities over the education of his two daughters, but the fallout from his divorce and remarriage is likely to be less of a factor, stress wise, over the next year.
We can rebuild him. Or reshape him. At the very least try to keep him alive for the next fifty-two weeks, then take it from there. We'll have to curb his bad habits and encourage some new, healthy ones. Every detail will be scrupulously recorded. But not by us. There is no 'us'. Our utility, questionable in the first place, has now disappeared altogether. The calm voiceover will never be heard again. Goodbye. Goodbye.
