Answer 5

this is what i have so far:
yes he should get his tests done because he can save his children from the disease even if his children don't get the disease there is a possibility that it can pass on through gene generations to his kids, kids so on and so forth. Pros and cons of getting the test done is so he can see if he carries the dieses and the con is that he might not be happy with the results.even if mike doesn't get the dieses there's a high percentage of even 10 generations later the person can get the dieses. genes travel far so even if mikes kids don't have it their kids can.
