Answers:
Yes, I do.
I don't want to be discriminated against, treated differently or judged in any way by what my genes say.
If I am going to get some god awful disease in ten years time, or all my children are going to be born looking like aardvarks then so be it, but to be judged on those merits alone seems very unfair (although in practical terms I can see the interest) after all, who would want to insure me if I am going to die soon, or marry me if our kids would be freaks...Health Question & Answer
