I doubt it.
If decades of warnings and mountains of evidence don't make you stop then why would this? - wit21, on 11/30/2008, -0/+2As amazing as this is, there are a lot of potential problems with it, too. If you have a gene that tells you for certain you're getting a disease (Huntington's disease has a very specific gene), will that affect how insurance companies cover you? Also, do you really want to know if you're going to have such a horrible disease in the future?
It's no crystal ball, but some diseases can be VERY accurately predicted with a DNA test. I don't think I'd ever get one. - protodon, on 11/30/2008, -0/+2I've known quite a few people who've died of decapititis

http://themesothelioma-attorneys.blogspot.com/ - maexus, on 11/30/2008, -1/+1People often have a "it won't happen to me" attitude. If a genetic test shows that they are far more likely to get lung cancer because of their own personal genetics, I imagine that would affect their lifestyle choices in the future.
