How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know?Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease?These days that’s more than an academic question,as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.
There are now more than a thousand genetic tests,for everything from baldness to breast cancer,and the list is growing.Question is,do you really want to know what might eventually kill you?For instance,Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson,one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup,is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’(老年痴呆症).
“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease,that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious,through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you.It could really mess you up.” Said Dr.Robert Green,a Harvard geneticist.
“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested,“could be understood as the beginning of the end.” “That ’s right.If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease,then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot,you think the disease has started.”
Dr.Green has been thinking about this issue for years.He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s.It was thought that people who got bad news would,for lack of a better medical term,freak out.But Green and his team found that there was “no significant

你什么时候才能对自己的一切报以感激?是当你发现自己将死于可怕的疾病的时候吗?这不仅仅是一个学术问题就像Tracy Smith在《非常真相》中说的一样有超过一千个基因检测涵盖的范围从秃顶到乳腺癌而这个范围还在扩大.问题是,你真的想知道自己死于哪种疾病吗?例如,诺贝尔奖得主科学家 James Watson 是第一个画出自己整个基因构造图的人,他要求别人不要告诉他他自己是否有高风险的老年痴呆症.
“如果人们告诉你你有换某种疾病的风险,这会加重你思想的负担让你紧张,你会以一种等待疾病击倒你的态度过完余生,这会让你乱了方寸.” Dr.Robert Green 说(一个哈佛大学的基因学家)
“每一个疼痛”smith 说“都会被理解为死亡的开始,没错,如果你开始担心患老年痴呆,那么每次你在停车场找不到车时,你会认为你的老年痴呆了.”
Dr.Green 一直在思考这个问题.他在那些想知道自己是否有得老年痴呆的风险的人们身上做了实验,而Green认为那些得到坏消息的人会(用一种非术语的话来说)出现幻觉.但是 Green 和他的同伴发现没有人有这么明显的反应.
