Am I missing something? 23&me were forced to validate their service with the FDA. They did and got passed. So they proved that their medical diagnosis are accurate.

I don't understand the hating on the FDA. It's better than having full-time quackery going on.

Edit: Here's an example. 23&Me tells you you're going to develop Alzheimer's. There's no test for that (before it develops), so you can't go to a doctor to validate it. Beyond the mental pain of living with this for years it's reasonable to assume some people would end their lives rather than be a burden to loved ones. But if they fucked up with their analysis and no one forced them to prove it?

Edit2: Also, exempt 23&me from FDA regulation? Why should your lab be regulated either? This isn't just a slippery-slope argument. I don't understand the argument to exempt 23&me.
