Monday, October 28, 2002Pumping on the StairMaster, I nudge the setting up a notch, wishing, in a way, that I either knew for sure I was going to die on, say, February 17, 2021, or that I hadn't been tested at all. As it is, the knowledge that I have an ACE and ATHS deep inside me will be nagging me every time I get short of breath. There’s a lot of potential for genetic testing to help us individualize medical therapy - to predict which medication would work best in each patient, for example. But it will never be the means to predict our health future. Too many outside influences have to be factored in, too many chance occurrences on the molecular level for our genetic make-up to be used as a map for our destinies. posted by Sydney on 10/28/2002 06:36:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
