Imagine that your friend´s father has just been diagnosed with Huntington´s disease. There´s a 50 percent chance that your friend has the defective gene too. She can know for sure by getting a genetic test that requires only a sample of blood. The problem is that there is no treatment or cure for Huntington's disease. However, even if she does have the family gene she may not start to get sick for 10 years or even longer. Should she get tested?

Write the advice you would give your friend. Remember to use the decision-making steps.
