Thanks for the mention! I'm really looking forward to learning more about your thoughts on personalized medicine, including the insights you've gained working in the field. The more people that talk about this topic the better, in my opinion.

Re: Personal genomics and the end of insurance

Great article - I've never thought about the insurance issue from that angle before. The intersection of GINA (if not the current GINA then some future version), health/life insurance, and inexpensive genomic sequencing will undoubtedly be explosive. I don't think it's far-off speculation, and it's great that these concerns are being discussed before we run head-first into them.

Interesting article. This is precisely why I try to educate my readers about the potential for revealing medical information in genetic genealogy testing.

"23andMe isnâ€™t quite ready for public access, but Illumina has indicated that the service will be free."
