Hi Hannah-
I agree with what you said about not feeling the need to know everything about your genetics. I feel the same way. I do not think that it is necessary to know the specifics of your genome in order to live a healthy and productive life. As you said, I do not think I would change much about the way I live, even if I knew that I had a predisposition to certain illnesses or conditions. I also liked how you pointed out the value of our individual genetic sequences versus the value of personalized precision medicine. I think the future of medicine is fascinating, and I'm sure we will see dramatic changes in our lifetimes, so I'm interested to see how genotyping through consumer services will play a role.
