If you had family history of an untreatable disease that you had 50% probability of inheriting but it typically sets on later at like 40 years old

I think I would yes if the test is available for you you should definitely take the opportunity and get it out of the way.

Yes, obviously.

both of my children were born with a rare genetic disease that no one else had in the family. Just a rare hookup between me and my exhusband. you bet they got genetic counselling. especially if you want to have kids.

Yes,I would have. But for what it's worth, I would suggest not being too sure that any disease is untreatable down the road. A neighbor's daughter was born with CF, expected life span of 25 years. Then they came out with biologicals to treat it and she is now 27, married & doing well. She actually isn't sure what to do in life as everything with the med is so new: have kids, plan for retirement, long term plans that she never thought would apply to her.

Yes, I would, I would want to know. I already have an untreatable disease which is genetic so what...
I wonder if I could have prevented it or postponed the onset somehow if I had known there was a predisposition earlier, but maybe these things happen so randomly that you just have no chance to know what is right and wrong to do so you can as well just live your life all the same and see what happens.

Yes, I don't want any surprises

Yes. It would feel negligent to not get tested. And I'd be a worrywart about it anyway. Lol

And yes, Because knowledge helps equip you to prepare for the future, however or whatever you may choose for yourself. I have a genetic blood disorder in which I have to be careful about birth control. My siblings and I had a 50 percent chance of getting it. I'm glad I learned about that sooner rather then later so I could learn more about it. What if I had a debilitating condition and quality of life from blood clots in my.blood stream at 22 because of taking the wrong birth control year after year?

Knowledge is a good thing. I'd want to prepare myself for the best health outcome. Even if it's years before I have to worry about it.

I'd get tested at 40, not earlier

I kinda do but I’m not gonna worry about it until it happens.
Lost both parents to cancer and my sister had leukemia and my oldest brother has Parkinson’s

Isn’t it better to get tested so perhaps the medical professionals can develop a cure, or at least a treatment?

Θα έκανα τεστ (με την υπόθεση πως το τεστ εχει πολυ υψηλή ακριβεια κλπ κλπ). Προτιμώ ενα κακό αποτέλεσμα από την άγνοια

If I was a young un I wouldn't get tested unless I was planning on having kids.

If its untreatable then why bother? So i can gwt my affairs in order? Im 33 without any affairs to get in order.

I would want to know ASAP, worrying about it for 20 years, is no way to live.

For cancer, and yes, I have and do. No sense on waiting until it is too late to treat.

Oh yeah or I would be overthinking the unknown 24/7 for my whole life.

I know people who have this same issue and discussed it too.

I would. I don't like surprises like that.

Why bother. Just live your best life. Fuck it!

I would want to know. And even results are usually just probabilities. Plus 20 years of anxiety about it and besides you can keep up on it and with some conditions what you do in your 20s like diet can make symptoms less severe down the road like type 2 diabetes or circulatory related conditions.

Nope
I live for the moment

Nah, I'd just drink more. 💀💀

Yeah, fuck it.
I have OCD. I know me.
I'd just worry about it until the worry is worse than actually just ripping the Bandaid off.

And live in suspense? I'd lance that boil

Yes, for my daughter

Prolly not. Fuck it.
