Re: Genetic counseling

The truth of the matter is, I'm afraid that if I share my genetic information with insurance companies, they will assume that I am destined to develop Alzheimer's, and therefore treat me like an Alzheimer's patient. I'm afraid that the state or some other agency will step in and make me their ward,...

Riding a bike? It's very good for leg muscles.
