My dad died when I was young. He was a good and decent man.

Coronary artery disease, at 55. Same with his grandfather and great-grandfather, both in their 50s. Let's hope & pray that modern medical advances will prevent genetic destiny!

There are some alternative things that really will ‘prevent that genetic destiny’. But modern medical advances are into treating symptoms, not the disease, or the cause of disease. Let’s hope that he ‘discovers’ what they are.
