Question: Do you think that genetic testing is like cheating on life?
After reading "DNA as Destiny," I felt like that genetic testing is kind of like cheating on life. Because you get to obtain information that you're supposed to know by naturally living, info. like: when you're going to die, diseases you'll potentially be diagnosed with., etc. Anybody agree or disagree?

I disagree, but I'm in the medical profession.
If someone is tested genetically and given information on a disease they may have a propensity for, they can perhaps do something to avoid it and/or catch it much sooner than if they hadn't known and the prognosis would be much better.
