23andme = Clairvoyant = mental health problems.
The more you empower others to tell you about your future the less you control your life and your choices. That will surely deprived you of couarge and make you psycologically dependent person. It should not be confused with when your body is telling you that you are not feeling well and you book an appointment with your GP for dignosis. However, sending dna samples to 23andme and to be curious about assumption regarding your future health is like getting mental health problems in life. AVOID SUCH UTTER NONESENSE!!!

Well, it is not healthy to become hypochondriac, but I agree with Romeo, “knowledge is power” in the proper balance of course!
