Guess that, at least at the current state of knowledge, they can only tell us so much.
Worth 500 bucks? If you know your family has some special genetic risks, maybe. If you are an affluent hypocondriac, maybe too. I magine they give you a copy of the whole personal genome, so guess it's also ok for the genetically curious.
Manju, The title 'Realm of Manjusri' is fine. I think you should not have added 'the idle speculator' tag that looks somewhat self-depreciating.
Well, Realm of Manjusri is what I think and the idle speculator what the others think. I need not necessarily agree with the others but both can live together, I suppose :-).
