Definitely hard to believe 15 years later. Especially with the possibility (however distant) of the benefits that personal genome sequencing will give to patients: ability to live a lifestyle that can lessen the likelihood of chronic diseases and drugs that are more effective and have less side effects since they are more or less tailored to a patient's DNA. Plus, the patient will take the drug for a shorter duration and at the minimum effective dose based on their needs.

- dalke 11y ago> since they are more or less tailored to a patient's DNA This is still pie-in-the-sky, and we don't know if that dream is much more achievable than the flying car. Using an argument by analogy, we have sequenced a lot of disease genomes, but it's not easy to turn that information into new drugs.
