Thank you for this excellent post! I think as sequencing becomes cheaper many people will have their genome sequenced and I am glad you have shared your experience! I think one of the major factors (other than cost) is the privacy issue. Many companies will use your DNA information and although they can say it will be used in an anonymous way there is no guaranty. What is the rationale of having to get a doctor's approval for whole genome sequencing? Shouldn't a person have the freedom to chose to have (or not to have) their genome sequenced independent of a doctor's approval?
I look forward to your future posts!
Cheers!
