Would you want to know if you're at risk for a certain disease later in life?

  I've been reading a lot about this company, 23 and Me, started by the wife one of the Google co-founders. It's a genetic testing company that will test your DNA for markers that might indicate you're at risk for developing a particular disease or disorder later in life. (https://www.23andme.com/). You get one of their kits, spit in it, and send it back for analysis.
  
  Would you do something like this? Would you want to know your risks?

  Actually, with Market America, they also have the DNA Gene SNP kit, where you swab your cheek with a q-tip, and then send to a lab. They then analyze it (no personal information is given) and then send you a whole kit: Including a booklet on what your personal problems could be along with your family history.
  
  I can check how much the kit is if you are interested in learning more, just e mail me to find out.
