    My Genome, Myself: Seeking Clues in DNA - New York Times

    refaving petersigrist. this is fascinating and scary at the same time.
    a) nervous what my dna would turn up about my predispositions
    b) nervous about the negative societal implications -- especially as it relates health and intelligence predictions. e.g. would a dna test be required prior to getting health insurance? would a dna test be part of the admissions process for a premier school?
