Michael Arrington from TechCrunch has a very interesting post on the DNA results he got from the Google backed start-up, 23andMe. For $1000 you can get yourself tested and find out where did your ancestors come from and what diseases you have a higher risk of getting. Another thing that you can find out is whether you have the gene that gives resistance to HIV.
Pretty cool overall, though the question remains for the future, if people will start using DNA tests to decide if they get together with someone or not, or if companies will take these tests. The nasty part would be if medical insurance rates would be decided based on someone’s genetic traits and predisposition to certain diseases.
