If this is not a volunteer type of program but a requirement, it should be dropped. My genes are my own private business, not some schools!

How do you tell a male student from a female student at UC Berkeley?

You get 'em to pull their genes down!

Oh, for god's sake! Another example of the medical lobby forcing the public to pay "just because".

Insanity.

It sounds like a good idea on the surface. I would like to know if I carried any advantageous or deleterious genes. On the other hand, if the information on each individual were acquired by insurance companies, it could allow them to pick who they would insure and not insure or at least charge higher rates on some people. It could even be extended to relatives or used in a court of law. I don't understand John T's comment however.

Know what one chromasome asked another? Do these genes make my butt look big?

Scary. Really, really scary. Can you say "Gattaca"?
