We may find that we can smoke without fear of cancer We may need to avoidr ed meat to avoid a stroke in our mid-forties We may be able to not worry about using sunscreen on the beach We may find that we should avoid living near or working at manufacturing plants that create plastics. Our knowledge of genetics may free us from a whole range of fears that health care professionals feel obliged to warn the whole population against. Instead of following every “good for you” health rule, we can be more precise and personal in our health care efforts. On the other hand, the probability chart may warn us of a future horrific illness. How do you think that a yet-to-come diagnosis would affect you today? Are you ill if you have the diagnosis of a horrific condition in the future? Should your health care insurance costs be targeted to account for the horrific condition?
