Your child’s health reduced to a coin flip like gamble? The odds for most kids is to not have any lasting effect but sometimes it does.

Do you feel lucky?


My children are grown. So yes, I feel “lucky” and very thankful.

Meantime, there is no such “luck” in genetics. How many times have we all heard, “you can’t beat genetics?” If genetics are not a factor, then why does nearly every medical form required at the doctor’s office ask about your family history? Is there a history of cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc etc?

For the medically challenged, it’s a questionaire regarding your genetics. Genetics play a major role in your prognoseses.

yet another conundrum

You know in advance which genes your child inherited?
