Breast cancer? Check. Heart disease? Check! Alzheimer's disease? Can do! Just swab your cheek, pop it in the mail and within a week or so, your life will be completely ruined!

Freak yourself out with new at-home genetic testing kit - Brand X

My mother in law is all over this. I can totally see her getting this and just worrying herself sick waiting for it to come in the mail never mind the results.

I am surprised my wife and her brother were ever able to leave the house that is how bad she is. If she could place my son in a protective bubble she would totally do it.

It annoys the shit out of me!
