The DNA crystal ball

A company called Genelex now offers a DNA screening service which will, for the low, low price of $395, tell you what you're in for later in life. The report suggests what your genetic makeup may have in your future, and also suggests appropriate changes in lifestyle to prepare for the future. I'm intrigued to see what people think about this. Is it, as the Washington Post article suggests, people playing God? Or is it simply a case of using what we know to discover problems sooner, much like the X-ray and ultrasound. Much like expectant parents, we may all soon be asked "are you going to find out?" Would you rather know if cancer, high-blood-pressure or glaucoma is (or may be) in your future, or would you rather wait and see how it develops? I guess the next question is whether parents will request these for their unborn children. One of the common tests today is amniocentesis (sp?), which is primarily used to discover Downes Syndrome children. (Check my facts, this is as best I remember from two years ago.) Our doctor advised us not to opt for the test unless we would consider aborting if the test came back positive. We wouldn't, and we didn't, but some would and some do.
