Um, yeah, I never said HALF of these things to which you are responding. Please don't put words in my mouth to make some argument you have going on in your own head. What I said was that, if someone is concerned, then, if they can afford it, they should take the test. Obviously, many of these people who are concerned…

But, the cat ... I mean ... pussy is out of the bag, isn't it?!?

It would be a worldwide Lysistrata. I'm all for it.

Right. And I have no idea why you're telling me that. Really.

lol! no.

Cool. A totalitarian feminist police state! Of course, now they know about our evil plans.

And I don't agree with him and think there's some misogyny underneath his points.

::pointing upward to your sentence about not believing in mental illness::

Right. So, with the appropriate genetic counseling, factoring in these issues, most will reach the correct decisions for themselves. Because percentages aren't factored in until family history is considered. As well, a good genetic counselor is going to tell you that it would be best to test a relative who has had the…

Um, okay then. You go on believing mental illness doesn't exist. That's ... a very scientologist of you. I don't agree. Mental illnesses do exist. I guess we'll just part at that point, each thinking the other is craz ... I mean, each secure in our own views.

Yikes. What if he crashes? Major road rash. Perhaps the cross would break his fall. I never thought I'd write that sentence, you know, ever.

I have two cats right now. One is adopted, and after him, I decided adoption was the best way to go. I wish now I could have rescued his entire family, consisting of him, his brother, and his very beautiful mother, but I couldn't afford to do it.

I'm not, actually. But, hey, if it makes you feel better to dismiss my comments by calling me names but providing not one single fact, and that doesn't make you feel that you are stupid, feel free!

I dunno. It seems to me that, if you can afford the test, you know, test. False positives are possible, but good genetic counseling will cover these issues reasonably.

You know, the one where you think you should get unnecessary and painful surgery even when there's nothing wrong with you. Most likely a compulsive disorder or related. That's what the doctor is implying will happen, but he's hinting it's because women=dumb followers.

Thanks for the info! My child and I are eventually going to add a new cat to our household, and we hadn't decided on anything, because, you know, we're probably going to the pound to find one. Adoption is always best. Just considering options.

Yes, it's a Persian cat. They are pretty, but I've never been one's servant, er, I mean, I've never owned one.

It needs more icing. Because, come on, that's the best part.

Okay, that is one adorable kitten. I have a breed question though. Don't those flatter faces cause breathing problems? Yes, I'm Debbie Downer today.

No, they are ridiculous concerns. Only the mentally ill, the WEALTHY mentally ill are going to consider having breasts and ovaries removed because Angelina Jolie did. That's a small subset of individuals. Then, those wealthy, mentally ill people have to find the doctor to do it. It's just not a public health concern.
