They should submit their site to the Mashable/Sun contest for their startup review! (mashable.com/startup-review-sponsored-sun-startup-essentials/)

This reminds me of the movie Gattaca.

"The road to hell is often paved with good intentions."

Now maybe if it was free! I'm living in poverty over here, while in college!

Personally I think something like that be cool to know a bit more about myself. However I would not let it be public knowledge, I'd probably go to some party find a guy who's drunk and send his sample in!

Now these are the same people who will be complaining that their genetic information has leaked on the internet.
Boy! people are stupid.


Insurance companies will mine this data to try to determine if you are there, and decline coverage because you have a genetic marker that might mean you will get cancer (or maybe not).

I wager 23andMe is useless for making sense from Mad Cows. Where is Homeland Security when the USDA needs them? All I have to go on now, is a ship called Fortune, some dude from the Inns of court, a plethora of Scottish Jacobites and French Huguenots inbreeding, an invasion of Scots-Irish, an occasional everyday English, and a smidgeon of Cherokee. Won't someone please tell me why I'm nocturnally circadianly predisposed to howl at the moon? Gobsmack me to know end! What if I'm fingered as the finjy with the dodgy völe-kitsch? Great barking mad cow loonies!
