Philip Greenspun (of the famous "tenth rule of programming"!) had an interesting question [1]:
Question: would it be illegal for 23andme to relocate to Singapore, for example, and have people mail DNA samples to Singapore and then email them the results? The company’s web site indicates that customers in Singapore (and a bunch of other countries) can send their DNA to have it tested. Would the FDA have jurisdiction to prevent a Singapore-based company from accepting packages from consumers in the U.S.?
