In 20 years time it will seem barbaric that doctors used to treat us without even looking at our DNA.

- dan-robertson 8y agoThat’s a bit like saying it’s barbaric that in the 18th century doctors never ever sent blood off to be tested (or looked at under a microscope). We can’t really expect doctors to do things that aren’t really very possible (yes dna sequencing is somewhat possible today but the results aren’t necessarily very useful and far too little is known about the interaction of different genes with each other and medicine for it to be useful)
