DNA Quote: Kevin Kelly

DNA Quote: Kevin Kelly

by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted February 8, 2008 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts

pharmaceuticalsFrom Kevin Kelly’s essay, Better Than Free:

Right now getting your copy of your DNA is very expensive, but soon it won’t be. In fact, soon pharmaceutical companies will PAY you to get your genes sequence. So the copy of your sequence will be free, but the interpretation of what it means, what you can do about it, and how to use it — the manual for your genes so to speak — will be expensive.

Kind of what I said - Drug Companies Should Offer Free DNA Tests.
