I sent in my spit to 23and me.
I find the whole concept of the interrelationship of the whole world's population fascinating.
And I must be much more self absorbed than I like to admit - I love taking the surveys. I'm right handed, right footed and left eyed. I bet you all were as eager to know that about me as I was to put it in the survey.
I'm so old that I've very likely "come down with" most of the risky "bugs" in my DNA.
If I were very young, and if my children were very young I would not have wanted to see the risks.
In my grandchildren my genes are watered down with many other families' genes, so my genetic influence is small and it gets smaller in each generation.
I think the cure for PD will be found out to be simple and just around the corner - I think that because I want to think that.
Autoimmune - a kind of infection or a virus - and curable.
Hope the same for cancer: soon and simple. And while I am at it - the rest of illnesses. They shouldn't be here at all.
