In reply to Elisa | blissfulE. I thought the medical results were very interesting - although I also think it is very important to look at them from a statistical point of view, so as to prevent misinterpretation of the results.

I love that your common interest in genetics is one of the things that started your friendship with Mike!!

This sort of testing has never crossed my mind previously. Maybe because my and my husband’s bloodlines are VERY mixed! :)

In our community every girl and boy gets genetic testing in high school. Their results then go into a large bank and they are given a number.Since our dating is very marriage focused, when a couple is dating they call up and anonymously give their numbers

They are then told if they are compatible. This has greatly lessened the genetic diseases that were happening as a result of Jewish couples marrying without knowing if they will likely have kids with genetic diseases.
