23andMe:Google wants to control human's genome too!


It seems that after controling a diverse set of people's data; both private and professional, that Google is aiming now to control their own DNA "data". Do you want to know why am I saying this?

Well, it is, in fact, Sergey Brin’s wife Anne Wojcicki who is behind this new announcement (Sergey Brin is one of the Google founders, for those who still have doubts:-)). And your conviction will be complete when you know that Google's put about $4 million in this startup.

According to Techcrunch, "23andMe will offer a genetic screening service for $999. The short story is that 23andMe will administer a test (presumably a swab or saliva test) that will take your DNA and screen it. In return you will be told your genetic history including whether you are likely to suffer from a range of diseases or similar life altering events, including heart disease."

Isn't this quite intriguing? Isn't this another manifestation of Google's obsession to control people's life?
