@carnage4life Knowledge that you have a gene for a chronic disease is only a positive in most developed countries. It helps doctors make sure to give you the treatment that you need. It is only a risk to you in a place with an insane insurance system, that is, in the US. The cure isn't to keep genetic information private (though there are other reasons for that). The cure is universal health care, where your genetic history only helps your doctor find the appropriate treatment for you but otherwise has no cost to you.
