Re: [DIYbio] White House Petition to Reverse FDA decision to bar 23&Me from selling their DNA kits

Thanks Todd, I definitely think regulation is a good thing to prevent
snake oil, but it seems like some ISO guidelines would do fine to
ensure they're actually processing the DNA and not just using a random
data generator. IDK much about manufacturing guidelines, but I'm not
convinced having an FDA stamp means a product is truly effective...
just look at things like Tylenol's marketing and all the craziness
with their baby vs kids vs adult dosage labeling. If 23andMe needs to
change their marketing to appear less diagnostic, then so be it.

I hope we don't get into some kind of 'Great Firewall of the Body'.
