Subject: Question #3

When Lani says she felt a relief that she was free from the genetic marker, I do feel like she was jumping ahead a little too quickly. I would also be releived, but i would know in the back of my head that there is still the cahnce that I might develop the cancer. Lani would probably be very suprised and upset if she developed the cancer because of another reason rather than by inherited gene mutations. when someone is given the test it should be made very clear to them that it is not actual proof that the cancer will never occur. This will lessen the good feeling of security, but it will make people more aware of their health and warn them about things that could happen.
