      I didn’t but I learnt about it at university. I would love to have my DNA mapped to see where my ancestry is from but would I want to know my genetic pre-disposition to dementia or cancer? I’m not so sure.

      I didn’t – I think I may have been too young when it was launched. I’d love to know where my ancestors came from but I’m with Natalie on the genetic pre-disposition theme, especially as my auntie only died last week of cancer 🙁
