2. Of one thing, I'm absolutely certain.

I will die. At age 66, now, there's no telling how soon or long from now that will happen. Learning what I might die from is not a high priority for me.

For younger people, there is an additional caution. Once you have these tests, they will surely become part of your medical history. If you ever lose your health insurance for some reason, you will be uninsurable if there's a marker in your DNA for some disease.

None of us know when we will die, but it is an absolute certainty that we all will. Why stress over what it is that will kill you? You could get killed in a car accident tomorrow on your way somewhere.

Live! Live while you are alive, and let death take care of itself when it's your time.
