Would you want YOUR genome sequenced?

I was sitting in my Microbiology class today pondering about whether I would want my entire genome sequenced.  This class is about Bioinformatics and how the power of computers have helped with the study of biology.  After the mandatory introductions my prof started talking about the Human Genome Project and how computers played a major role in that.  The question came up:  Would you want your genome sequenced?

The first individual to have their entire genome sequenced was Craig Venter.  This is to say that his ENTIRE biological fingerprint was sequenced and analyzed.  You can learn alot about a person from their genome.  For example, Craig apparently used to smoke, has risk of developing heart problems and functions his best at night.  I find this concept very fascinating.  On one hand, you can learn so much about yourself if you were able to view  your biological fingerprint.  Whether you were more susceptible to diseases, cancer, weird genetic quirks you have, etc.  But on the other hand, do you want to know that your chances of developing cancer is much more likely than you thought?  Of course you should have some sort of idea by looking at your ancestors, what sort of disorders that might happen to you, but to know that the chances are very likely that it will happen?

Another interesting idea came up during lecture, what if this genome sequencing technology was available to the general population for only a few hundred dollars?  I think this would be a terrible idea.  Most people have a hard time facing life as it is, to give them news of impending doom (ie. diseases, cancers, etc) would probably cause all sorts of emotional turmoils.

Well these are just a few thoughts.  What do you think?
