I dreamt up a similar project looking at certain implicated genes in cancer and following those patients for several decades, but since I am a federal employee that looks at porn during work, I can't get funding. lol
 
I'd love to be part of such a study. I'm already a part of an HPV study which tests my DNA for relations to that virus and various forms of cancer throught to be caused in part by that virus.
 
right. that's what I said. don't send in the form and you go to jail.

send it in, with it truthfully filled out, and you don't go to jail*









*eventually you will, but typically/most of the time/usually/unless there's some overt act to try to avoid paying, you don't go to jail for just not paying.
 
But in reality most of this genetic testing stuff is silly as most screens are correlative. People really shouldn't put as much stock in it unless the company is identifying single documented genes.
 
this will end up like airbags and/or back-up cameras.............you know, when someone doesn't get an option that would helped them, then sue because they chose not to?

one of two things will happen:

1. someone will get the test and it won't correctly interpret his "alcohol, dairy products and folic acid". later, he'll suffer from the incorrect interpretation and his family will sue after he does 14 keg stands at a party and passes out and chokes on his own vomit and dies.

2. someone won't get the test and will get alcohol poisoning after having his first vodka drink. he will then sue because the school *should*have* tested him so he'd know he'd have a bad reaction.


I'd bet a year salary one one of those two happening in the first year of the program.
