I think that for some people it would have been a good decision for Janet to get tested for Alzheimer's. Now that she knows what is going to happen to her she should be able to take advantage of each and every day, knowing that one day her brain will deteriorate. However, Janet reacted in such a way that it caused both her and her family more pain that it should have. To mention suicide as an option when she does develop Alzheimer's is something that will and has already caused her family pain. Maybe in the future, if Janet were to go through some kind of emotional therapy to help her deal with her genetics, the testing will actually be beneficial to the rest of her life. Because she knows that she will most likely get the disease, perhaps she will be more savvy about helping fund doctors to find a cure, and helping others who have AD.
