This petition was created using the original change.org petition: FDA: Don't Ban Marketing of Home Genomics Kits Like 23andMe
" 23andMe has brought the genomics revolution to countless Americans at prices that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. Already, over 500,000 people have used its innovative products to learn more about their ancestry, health risks, and genetic predisposition to a wide variety of factors.
But the Food and Drug Administration has just shut down further marketing of 23andMe’s $99 saliva home-test kit, effectively grinding their business to a halt. The FDA seems to think that Americans can’t be trusted with more information about their potential health risks because some people might make rash decisions with it."
