Just to pare back the hyperbole -- there's really no practical way for someone to die from a 23andMe kit. We should be able to agree on that. There have been a bunch of concerns in this thread that are valid -- e.g., people might have to deal with bad news, or may see false positives, etc., that could cause them some inconvenience (though I would argue that 23andMe doesn't tell you that you have cancer, just maybe whether or not you're likely to). Regardless, the idea that I could die from a 23andMe test is about as far-fetched as one can get.
