I once knew a kid who was adopted from a foreign country. There was no family history available. He started having serious health problems and not knowing his genetic history, the diagnosis was slow and difficult. He had a prblem at the cell level which he takes medicine for and is ok now.
Can't think of a con unless you want to be in denial.

A pro would be that if you are predisposed to a certain ailment, you could do what you can to mitigate that predisposition. For example, if you know you are predisposed to cholesterol problems, you could watch your consumption of animal products. A con would be that the knowledge might cause you to worry too much about it or that it would keep you from doing things you might enjoy for fear of exacerating the potential problem.

the pros are that it would tell some very cool interesting info
the cons are that some employer might not hire someone based on predisposition to an expensive health issue
