This is EXACTLY my point. Your arrogance in assuming that I don't know that and then as a consequence, crowning yourself qualified to make that decision for me.

This is EXACTLY my point. Your arrogance in assuming that I don't know that and then as a consequence, crowning yourself qualified to make that decision for me. That is unbelievably fucked up.
Neither you nor the FDA have the MORAL right to make that decision for me. Maybe my wife and I can't afford 6K? Maybe our insurance doesn't cover it?
You have no idea how informed I am. You have no idea what my financial situation is. You have no right to make those sorts of decisions for me.
The FDA should stick to its mandate. It's the Food and Drug Administration, not the Anything-Remotely-Medical Administration. My genome is MY genome. Nobody has a right to it but me. NOBODY can tell me when or how I can access it.
- mbreese 16y agoI don't know your circumstances, and you don't know mine either. I am sorry that you have to deal with this though... I'm not saying that you don't have the right to know what your genome is. I'm saying that you have the right to get accurate information about what it means...
