Hehe... You aren't called MoneyGuy for nothing!!!

You raise an interesting point though. What about the effects on Healthcare? Really, it could evolve similar to the current issues around Euthanasia, but multiplied by a huge factor. "Sorry, you cant be on the liver donor list because you have a 75% chance of getting diabetes in the next 5 years". The implications are pretty scary, really.

As for the original question, I would probably find out my genetic dispositions if I had the opportunity. That information doesn't change reality, just my current perception of it.
