I think this means I can scalp my pre-Nov 22nd, unused kit. All kidding aside, this is pretty disappointing. I bought one for myself a year ago and it was a life altering experience. I know that 23andMe have come under scrutiny with regards to not only the accuracy of their findings but the manner in how they communicate it but I have not had problems with either. I hope the FDA allows this company to continue what they are doing. It's rare that such an opportunity exists for the layman to understand their genetics. EDIT: I've verified the more dramatic findings outside of 23andMe. I never saw 23andMe as an authoritative source, but it is a great guide.

It's only life-altering (in a good way) if the analysis 23andMe sent you was accurate, and many professionals in the field of the genetics say that it often is not. You say you haven't had problems with the accuracy of their findings, but unless you've had the test repeated by a research university, I'm not sure how you'd know. Don't get me wrong - I want all this data for myself - but I don't want to be misled or falsely worried.
