Don't know if any of you saw this on CBS news last night: Wisconsin forward Jake Dowell is coping with his father's Huntington disease -- a degenerative disease with no cure. Jake has a 50-50 chance of carrying the gene himself.

Link to video on CBS.

He's decided not to get tested until he starts a family -- so will live the near future without knowing.

Thanks for sharing the link.

It's quite a dilemma. I can't blame him for his choice not to be tested.
