I couldn't disagree more. Knowing more about your body is always a good thing -- the fact that many people won't know what to do with that information is inconsequential. It may not make sense for many (most) people to buy into 23andMe, there are a lot of people out there that can understand this, or at least find it interesting to be able to peer into their genetic makeup.

There's a Z chance you'll be blown up", they'll worry unduly no matter what X,Y,Z are. I can see what you're saying, that if you're a qualified doctor, or have studied medicine for years, then 23andme could be useful, but for everyone else, I think it could be very dangerous.
