Comments on: Genetically Naked? http://scienceroll.com/2007/08/02/genetically-naked/ A doctor's journey in genetics PhD and medicine through web 2.0 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 03:37:23 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Bertalan Meskó http://scienceroll.com/2007/08/02/genetically-naked/#comment-21475 Mon, 13 Aug 2007 16:39:45 +0000 http://scienceroll.com/2007/08/02/genetically-naked/#comment-21475 Thank you, Ken, in the name of the whole scientific community! This is the right thinking! I must update my article with your last sentence… :)

If looking into the mitochondrial crystal ball can help you shape decisions on what to do with the rest of your life, why not take a look? Anyway, I posted my 67 Y-dna markers on FTDNA and DNA-Forums and my whole mtDNA sequence is on GENBANK and the other sites. If that gives someone a clue about what I might suffer or die from then they’re the kind of odds maker that ought to spend more weekends in Las Vegas! As for me, it’s been expensive but rewarding to contribute genetic science’s advance. Studies like this are opening new branches of medicine, tracking down cousins, updating our understanding of evolution, and preparing us for what’s next. Every hero has a chink in his or her armor — or an Achilles heel. I’m hoping being up-front about it will help build a better world for the grandkids.

Steering through the choppy waters of early genome sequencing will require a group effort, that much is for certain.

Steven: I wish I knew as much about personalized genetics as you!

Branden: You know well, it’s the world of buzzwords. If the headline would be something like Public genome, noone would read it…

Your last question is already law, entities can’t legally patent entire genomes, at least in the U.S.

Your headline could have been written better. Something like “Exposing your Genome to the World” or possibly question form as “Should personalized genomes be public domain?”.

Looking forward to seeing more articles in the future!

I love the post. You always have a nice way of organizing this data in a way that the reader can use effeciently. I wish I could have such a skill. I think if we all work together that these problems will begin to vanish. Knowing what I do now, I would walk naked. I admire these people for having the foresight to do this. That being said, they have the money to say……I don’t care about health insurance. Personally I would love to be the iternists for this fantastic 10. But everyone must think about the repercussions of making their genome naked, I whole heartedly agree.
Great Job Berci,
-Steve
