Why is the biological half life of a radioisotope shorter than it's physical half life?
Due to its metabolism, a living being can get rid of some of the isotope's atoms before they decay.

Does the biological clock dictate when you die?
The length of your telomeres may have a lot do with the "biological clock". Telomeres are sequences of non-coding ("junk") sequences at the end of your chromosomes. Because your DNA gets a little bit shorter every time it replicates, your telomeres get shorter and shorter as you age. Once these telomeres are gone you will have more difficulty replicating DNA. The biological clock refers to your circadian rhythm, which regulates sleep/wake cycles. It is controlled by melatonin secretions by the pineal gland. In popular usage, it may also refer to a woman's age in relation to her fertility. Another words, yes/no, depends on your life style/habbits and many other factors/heir is low, but is a factor.

How is the importance of half-life an important consideration surrounding the use of nuclear power storage of nuclear waste?
The halflife of a particular isotope simply tells how long it will remain dangerously radioactive. By storing the spent fuel rods on site much of the shorter lived more intense radiation will have decayed before moving it to a long term repository.

Biological age test you can take?
There is a free biological age test at www.growyouthful.com It asks you about 140 questions, and then makes an estimate of your body's real age. This test was the first available on the internet, and in my opinion is still the best available. It also includes a shorter rate-of-aging test, to give you an idea of whether you are aging faster or slower than average
