When my daughter in law was pregnant, CA requires a host of genetic test, and she came back positive for one.. but it was a test know to have a high percentage of false positives- she waited and worried till the sonigram in her seventh month made it clear the baby didn't have any problems.. for some time we discussed different test, and options.. and i learned a good deal about her test, and others.. SB can be detected and if it is, a percentage of pregnancies get terminated.

i have second cousin's who have phenyleketonuria-- the disease that is always being warned about on Equal and other 'blue' artifical sweeteners. it too is genetic, but it is only test for post birth.


my other obsession
