    This is a tough one. Is it better to know about an incurable disease seven years later if you can’t prevent the progression of symptoms?

    Its not tough for me at all. I’d want to know.

    We’re all going to die of something and there’s nothing we can do about that fact. However, if you can give me a really good indication how many years I have of useful life left, I’m going to live it dammit! It also means you don’t have to plan for a long retirement and can spend the money you saved on experiences you want to setting up your family for the best chance of success after your passing.

    There’s no scenario I’d not want to know.
