In reply to News - new P450 tests being launched, posted by jrbecker on May 14, 2003, at 13:34:45

"Roche held out a vision that the CYP450 test could one day be used to screen all newborns and to indicate, for example, whether to ever use a certain cardiovascular Drug or antidepressant."
That sounds ridiculous and scary. All newborns? Also, this is forgetting that things like depression and even heart disease are often very much developed from external factors, and not just genetics. i wonder if it will be mandatory or highly urged to put one's child on some drug just because of some freaking test. There are some good aspects of this test, but Roche seems a little too overzealous.
