"I realize that this isn't going to be a popular opinion around these parts, but no, you can't. Smart as you may be, you're utterly ignorant when it comes to this stuff, and you haven't got a chance of beginning to understand the intricacies that go into interpreting the data that these companies are giving you. More importantly, you don't have time to understand" Granted. Do I not have the right to get my own body analysed, and then decided who to trust to interpret the data? Why should I trust a federal agency over a private entity? Remember, this agency would be under the control of a government that thinks it OK that I can drink alcohol, and smoke or chew tobacco, but not smoke dope. There's peril no matter what; that's life. It's not a like I'm planning on camping out at the library pouring through organic chemistry and biology books in order to decode this data on my own. I simply want the option to a) have people collect data on the body I own, and b) freely choose who can see this data and provide feedback. What I don't want is some bureaucrat preventing this kind of self-examination because he or she thinks some people will make poor choices. I still want to see laws regarding fraud enforced, and would want to see a high level of transparency form the companies doing the testing. That level of transparency would be a key part in deciding who and what to trust.
