"Our current health care system is built around reaction: doctors wait for patients to fall ill and only then find a way to heal them. But what if, some time in the future, doctors can predict what disease you might contract and help you prevent it? What if, like Angelina Jolie did in 2012 when she elected to have both breasts removed after discovering she was at high risk for breast cancer, you could take steps to head off the devastating diseases that plague our lives today? That’s the future as envisioned by Anne Wojcicki, CEO and founder of 23andMe, a company that is bringing affordable genetic testing to the masses." (Quoted from article)
