Answer 1

Yes we would want to know.....for example...if my family had cancer...then I am aware that I would get it and take medication before its too late!

Answer 2

This question is mostly opinion based, so it wants to know what you think. for example, the other answer would want to know because they find it helpful, but I wouldn't want to know because it's not guaranteed you will develop those conditions and I know myself well enough to know I would get paranoid. Hope this helps!
