[ExI] FDA Tells Google-Backed 23andMe to Halt DNA Test Service

This is what MedCity news is saying.  If you have an opinion on the matter,
do consider this one:

They are urging the POTUS (whose name I cannot recall at the moment) to
overrule the FDA on 23andMe, or suspend their CaD order.  POTUSes have the
authority to do that, since he would be suspending a law not made by
congress but rather a bureaucratic regulation. 

 

I am aware that the petition refers to the spit kit as a diagnostic kit even
though 23andMe site specifies their system is not intended for diagnostic
use.  If you choose to not sign it for that reason, I get that too.  There
might be another petition somewhere which is worded better.
