  Medical history would be pretty important.

    Tbh i was fucking 40 before my mother casually mentioned haematomachrosis "ran in the family’ and there’s plenty of disconnected ignorant or straight up deluded people out there. Not really a strong argument.

      Right but if a doctor asked you to check with your biological mother you would know who to go to and be able to get accurate information.

        uh, no

        1 - Doctors don’t do that. they may ask “Any history of X in your family?” but it’s not a supercritical diagnosis factor, they can easily work without it.

        2 - a number of people - myself included - have no contact with their biological parents despite being raised by them. Quite the opposite, ironically. There are also a number of people who have lost their parents / family over the years

        3 - your parents are not accurate information sources.

    I can agree on that, but those are things that can be mentioned as running in the family.
