Why Be in the Dark?

My friend Victoria is hosting a giveaway on her Gwendolyn Strong Foundation site for two Counsyl Universal Genetic Tests, which screen for more than 100+ genetic inherited conditions, including SMA - Spinal Muscular Atrophy - the #1 genetic killer of young children.

Certainly, as someone contemplating kidding, I'd want to rule out as much as possible in the way of passing on any unfortunate and possibly fatal conditions to my offspring should we go the traditional route where I get knocked up. While we haven't decided definitively whether or not to kid yet, and while we're leaning towards adoption, I say, better safe than sorry. You should definitely take this test if you're planning on having children. Why be in the dark? Find out what nasty little genes you have lurking around in there, (if any), and make an educated decision about where to go from there if anything negative pops up. Makes sense to me.

If you plan on entering the contest, I would advise doing so immediately, since it ends tomorrow.
