Questions to think about:
*Bullet* What do you think of genetic testing?
I think genetic testing is necessary. There are over 2000 genetic tests available and are offered for many different reasons.

*Bullet* Is it good or bad for us? What advantages and disadvantages do you believe genetic testing offers?
I think genetic testing is a good thing because it provides answers to questions related to diseases, prenatal issues, etc. Well, not always, but most of the time.

The only disadvantage I can think of is the possible miscarriage from an amniocentesis .


*Bullet* Is it something better left alone? Or could it be the key to unlocking answers?
For me, I believe genetic testing is imperative. If you have issues related to genetics, you naturally want to know why. Genetic testing can give you those answers.


*Bullet* Would you or have you undergone genetic testing?
I have undergone genetic testing (amniocentesis) due to issues I had with my first pregnancy. Ultrasound indicated issues with the baby and genetic testing provided the reasons behind those problems. I've written about here on WDC, although I can't find it. I think I removed it from my portfolio. But here's a very short and sweet recount: "SadnessOpen in new Window.
