Thanks everyone for "weighing" in on the topic. CyberCelt - I agree with you, it's sorta of scary what that type of info. can be used for - and I think laws need to be in place first -- I remember hearing on the news something about laws being proposed so that genetic testing couldn't be used to keep someone from getting a job (and hopefully so they couldn't be denied insurange as well) - but who knows what will actually be passed or what loop holes can be found.

Because what can I do about it anyway? Knowing will just eat up memory space because I won't be able to stop thinking about it.

Call me cynical, but I think they will use the information to not insure people because of pre-existing conditions. The good part of genetic testing is that with gene therapy, they may wipe out all the diseases that plague us as we grow old.
