A very long article about the feelings that thousands members of 23andme already have. Lots of hyperbole in - i'm pretty sure every single person's genome has similar findings.
Please let's get over with these 'scary' articles and concentrate on the fact that in rare cases lives can be spared.
I feel like the article ended a little early, like there should've been more. It almost reads like it should've said, "I'd rather you didn't have it, but..."
Beyond that it was a pretty gripping story. As this technology becomes cheaper we'll probably see more startups take advantage of it, but the human side of it can be unsettling.
