Genetic testing: Would you want to know if you're at risk?

Hello everyone, how are you doing today? 😊

Genetic testing is now widely available and can reveal whether you are at an increased risk of developing certain diseases. For some, this information is empowering, offering the chance to prepare in advance or take targeted preventive measures. For others, it may feel overwhelming or raise questions about potential prejudices.

Let’s dive into this topic together:

Would you take a genetic test to know your health risks? Why or why not?

Have you or someone you know already tried such tests? What changed after knowing the results?

Are there any specific diseases you’d prefer not to know about in advance?

How do you feel about the ethics surrounding genetic testing?
