So, it's a health testing company that will keep all my blood-related health information and make it "actionable", with the backing of James Mattis, William Perry and none other than Henry Kissinger. There are more soldiers in that board there than doctors.

The only way I'd give them my blood would be to infect them with a disease.

Just recently I had a visit at an allergist and found the entire procedure so primitive, that I nicely informed the doctor that they could upgrade the way they do tests. I or anyone else technically minded could very easily come up with less prehistoric tools, but he was as expected not interested in any improvements. I hate school-medicine.

Thanks for the background info, it's always worth to know who is behind something. Even the best thing that can happen to humanity would be abused, if supported and financed by sick minds.

I'd bet anything the choice of board is due to Theranos looking to get military and/or other government contracts very, very soon.
