Monday Morning Question of the Day

My book club recently read Still Alice by Lisa Genova.

It was a fascinating book about a psychology professor at Harvard 
who is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. 
It's an amazing book that caused lots of discussion at our book club on Thursday night.  
One of the most highly discussed questions had to do with Alice's three children
 and their decision about being tested for the Alzheimer's gene.

So my question for you is......
If one of your parents had Alzheimer's, 
would you take the test to see if you had the gene?
Why or why not?
