Are you really this stupid? I think you're pretending to be stupid.

Yes, bad diagnosis is kind of a big deal. Yes, new, unlicensed, untested medical devices are kind of a big deal. Thanks for your completely unrelated, probably fictional, personal anecdotes though. I'm sure someone was swayed by your emotionally charged, whatever story about something whatever, but I'm surprised, because one time I got a rental car and it told me it was out of gas but it was wrong, I went to another dealership and there was gas! Quick, stop filling up cars at the pump!

Who upvotes this shit? Seems like there is a conspiracy to prevent legitimate and intelligent conversation around any medical issue by stupid, distracting comments and pointless bickering about issues that aren't even remotely related to the OP.

Strange, I looked for your intelligent comments, but found nothing.

Have you taken the 23 and me test? Seen the results? Are you adopted and know nothing about your families medical history? Have you ever been misdiagnosed by a board certified doctor using an FDA approved test that costs thousands of dollars? Ever use webMD to self diagnose a condition that nearly killed you?

So you have something intelligent to say, great, tell us. Maybe include some experiences that inform your opinion so we can better understand where you're coming from.

Strange, All I see is more ads for 23andme.com and a lame attempt to scare me into using it.
