Subject: Response to number 3

After recieving the test results and realizing that her children have inherited the alzheimer's gene from her I do not think she should inform her children of this. They are at such young ages, they do not need another burden placed on their sholders. I think that when they grow older they should Janet should inform them of their family history. Then, they can undergo genetic testing so they know their chances of developing the disease and their children's chances. Janet may want to consider telling older family members of her high risk for alzheimers. They have the right to know their risk, and may want to get tested to detrimine what the future may hold for them.
