Subject: Testing Family Bonds #5:

If my sibling was spared a genetic mutation, but I was not, I know my immediate reaction would be why? I would wonder why my sibling and why not me? I would also feel angry. I do know that things do happen for a reason, and God does have a reason why my sibling was spared and I was not, so I would just have to accpet it. I would also be happy for my sibling. I think I would also apperciate life more, knowning that I may not have long to live. If i was spared, and my sibling was no, however, I would feel horrible. I would constantly feel so much guilt, and not know what to do about it. I also would probably be slightly relieved as well, knowing that I do not have the disease. But at the same time, I know that there is still a chance that I would get the disease, just not geneticly.
