So I've been looking at www.23andme.com's DNA analysis service for a while now and I think I may finally treat myself as I find myself getting old and gray (26)... and wondering what I'm going to eventually die from.
Of course, I'm half kidding. As I am from a divorced family tree (broken limbs everywhere), I'm also interested in things such as heritage. But the main interest in my attempt to use this service is to know what I'm likely to die from. It's sad that although I know fear is so widely used to sell things, this company does not seem to push that factor, but I still feel drawn to it. For anyone who doesn't know, I believe Google bought that company a few years ago and it has since lowered the price. Although the price still stands at $399 for a test.
Does anyone know of a coupon or special offer for the test? I saw that if you have a medical problem you might be able to get a discount, but I'd rather not wait for IBS or some other BS medical condition like ADD to allow me to get a discount. Should I wait? Should I do it at all? I await your comments and thoughts on the subject.
