If the FDA were useful, it would be helping 23andMe rather than trying to take them down.
It's not their mandate to help 23andme, their mandate is to protect the general public. Their enforcement letter clearly spells it out: the FDA had had concerns about the validity of some of their tests, and they gave 23andme opportunity to address there. Since they failed, the FDA is taking action.
- nickff 13y agoThe FDA protects the public, but only from new things, it does not protect new from a disease, but it does protect you from a potentially unproductive test or treatment. One could say the FDA exists to ensure that all statistical errors are of type II. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_I_and_type_II_errors
