I had a nephew who died of AIDS many years ago when he was only nineteen years old. He contracted the virus from a bad blood transfusion that happened before they even KNEW that AIDS existed. Any research done to prevent/treat/cure AIDS should be aggressively supported and encouraged. This truly is sad. I had a nephew who died of AIDS many years ago when he was only nineteen years old.

So what is your take on this? I have been saying that the first companies to make money off of any kind of direct-to-consumer genetic testing would likely be "recreational" applications--in particular ones involving genealogy, ancestry tracing, artistic products and celebrities.

Disease prediction is not a big sell. Duh! But almost everyone wants to learn about their non-disease DNA, because this tells them more about who they are and how to live better right now.
