I think there's got to be both. From my observations, attitudes towards genetic testing esp. here in the UK tend to be negative. Some of it's deserved and much of it not. You can make something seem safe as much as possible but if everyone's caught up in the hype and fear, they may need a bit of convincing. Hi Thomas, Thanks for your comment.

I guess that issues related to the PGP may deserve consideration beyond their PR aspect...

It’s nada until they have Larry King

Maybe we need to take a poll on which celebrity everyone thinks should have their genomes sequenced….

Clearly I have some studying up to do on the PGP. I originally intended to leave you a comment but it got longer and longer and longer so I decided to make it a post instead!
