Purchase Your Personal Gene Map

dstone writes "Craig Venter, Time Magazine's Person of the Year in 2000 has a new hobby: collecting rich people's DNA. Millionaires are lining up to buy their personal gene maps for the cool price of USD$621,500. The process takes a week and you get some insight into your genetic mutations that may correlate with illnesses, cancers, Alzeimer's, etc. Venter is a high profile character in the genetic sequencing scene and the Human Genome Project. More info on him may be found here(1) , here(2), and here(3) . If you had the pocket change, would you give this man your business?"

does this scream "Gattaca" to anyone else?

So what if it does? There used to be this standard response to situations which was "The good book says..." and then the story that was told in the Bible that supposedly told how to live in the present day. So we are supposed to believe Danny DiVito more than Moses these days?
