Because needing to book an office visit with someone who has had about a decade of medical training just to get the test done is not exactly &amp;#x27;simple&amp;#x27; in my book.  And sharing those results with the increasingly invasive systems of insurance and government and otherwise doesn&amp;#x27;t fill me with anticipation.&lt;p&gt;Overall I definitely do want to know, though.  If I know that I am highly likely to contract dementia I can start doing things to attempt to combat it, or at least plan 5 or so years before that point to begin using hard drugs.  You don&amp;#x27;t get any money back if you leave your body in good shape.  I&amp;#x27;d prefer to slide it smoking and smouldering across the finish line, missing both bumpers and with only one headlight hanging out.  Then explode.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Simple blood tests may soon be able to deliver news about your cognitive health</title><url>https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/11/17/opinion/sunday/What-if-You-Knew-Alzheimers-Was-Coming-for-You.html</url></story>
