I think this article is really fascinating, because with so many advances in DNA, I think we will learn a lot about ourselves and hopefully cure some major diseases. However, if personal genomes started to become publicly available for everyone, say in 100 years or less, would you date someone knowing they have a gene that predisposes them to Alzheimers or another debilitating disease? Is this just another way that humans would be trying to push natural selection?
