Le Web08 - Day 1 - 23andme

Do you know that a company called 23andme can analyse your DNA with a sample of your saliva for a few hundreds $. The company was voted earlier the best invention 2008 by the Time magazine.

The good news is that 23andme won't share the data of your DNA without your consent. Thank God for that. Can you imagine if you need to borrow from a bank and they could check your DNA. And they can see that you could potentially being diagnosed with a disease and therefore resufe any loan. Scary thoughts.
