Thanks for the posts! A couple of quick questions
1. Is the information created owned by 23AndMe or the customer? I am not sure that everyone would be comfortable or willing to share their personal information the way 23AndMe is sharing it with BIotech companies for further research
2. We see in our daily lives how insurance companies are moving towards supporting patients through preventive care. For example, by signing up for a gym we get a discount on our healthcare insurtance premiums. Would an insurance company find this product attractive in order to further customize and prevent more expensive treatments for vulnerable population?
