Funny. A couple days after I heard about this FDA action, I went to 23andme's web site, bought their kit and now it's sitting on my desk waiting for me to spit into it. I've been putting it off for ages. It looks like the FDA letter prevents them from marketing, but not selling. Fortunately, the news of the FDA letter is free marketing for them, for a while at least.

I saw one of their commercials on TV yesterday...so I guess the FDA did not shut them down after all?
