So, whatever happened with the Personalized medical care based, primarily but not solely, on DNA? If there is a 10 Percent risk a disease is linked to a DNA segment, does that mean that they don't know what they are talking about? You and I may have a 90 Percent probability of never developing some kind of cancer, will the premiums go down in our case? Etc. Remember, your premium does not go down if you take the Flu Vaccine, does it? Thanks for the clarification on the clarification request.
