I think it's less than $1000 for complete sequencing of an individual human genome. Wow, that is amazing. I am way behind following that stuff.

My Complete Genomics shares were recently taken over by a Made in China company <Genome sequencing has progressed a lot the last couple of years. I think it's less than $1000 for complete sequencing of an individual human genome. In a democratic, multiracial society, identifying "intelligence genes" is very incorrect politically. And embryo selection will be anathema to the right to life crowd. So it's hopeless for the USA. Buy Chinese stocks :) > The market Complete Genomics was in was medical research for treating problems for individuals. Not such a big deal. The big money is in mass production of intelligence for breeding women. There's also lots of money in medical matters. Compare incomes of people with IQ 100 with IQ 130 and the value per IQ point is shown to be a serious business [not just incomes but quality of life]. I was valuing IQ points 30 years ago because lead in petrol was an issue which caused about a quarter IQ point deficit overall, but higher in some children. Lead in petrol was a vast economic and human disaster which remains unrecognized. There were so many other bad things it's easy to ignore to lead damage. 50 million dead from WWII [or however many it was] was pretty bad. Mao made a mess. Nutritional deficiencies in iodine, proteins and other building blocks of brains were and are worse. Mqurice
