@aral in my case, i decided i just didn’t care ): data fatalism?

@aral "the genetic information is going to be used for “research and development of innovative new medicines and potential cures.”"
What exactly is wrong with that?

@cristhyano @aral what else pharmaceutical company is going to do with it?

@aral see i hate this but also. i have a kinda rare condition (EDS) caused by probably-genetics (not known for sure atm) and like. there's no easy way to like. donate your code to science or whatever. but this would do that to some extent. >.> but also i don't want to support companies like this <.<

@kit @aral There's nothing wrong with pharma company using genetic data. How else they supposed to do their research? If there's any breach of the law - they should be punished. And GSK knows it like nobody else.
