Subject: A Daughter's Tale: Question 7

Personally, I do not believe that it was a good idea for Janet to be tested for Alzheimer's, especially because there is no cure and it adds future burdens on herself and her family. Now, her family has to take responsibility for watching Janet's every move. Yes, helping Janet out in a bad time is good, but Janet should not make her family put their lives on hold because she wanted to find out if she had the Alzheimer's gene. Now that Janet knows she carries the gene, Janet and her family know how her life will turn out. This and Janet's negative attitude about the whole situation make it almost impossible for her, or her family, to enjoy the rest of the time they have together.
