Add the scientific evidence that for many illnesses (like PD) that genetics only "load the gun" but environmental factors "pull the trigger" and all the mathematical models go (farther) out the window.

For me the real question is:

Do you take DTC genetic testing off the market to protect the small percentage of uninformed people that might act irrationally and thereby penalize the overwhelming majority who might benefit from it ?
