Re: Is there any reality in palm reading?
Gene reading is factual, and besides, few gene readings are actual ultimatums. Usually, its that your predisposition to something is higher or lower, or your chances of getting something are higher or lower. Nowhere is any doctor telling you "Hey buddy in 10 years, you're going to die of leukemia, so start prepping that grave".
And if there is a chance for medicine to come in and save some lives, then its halaal. I think the only one I can think of where a gene "reading" (good term...) comes into play is Huntington's. I'm sure there are more - just that everyone and their mom knows about Huntington's.
