Intro
The company 23andMe can make a genetic report for you. They study your DNA and tell you about your preexisting issues. This health information can help you with preventative care.
Some people do not want a report from 23andMe. They don’t want to deal with knowing about their future health. For these people, having this much information causes a lot of stress.
