Abstract

The announcement of several deals between the DTC genetics firm 23 and Me and Genentech, Pfizer and other corporations reveals the real business model of the company: selling access to sets of characterized patients for targeted drug development. This may be a useful strategy, but it raises a number of questions concerning the privacy of the company's customers and also of adequate compensation when they become valuable currency.
