#12Please someone in another country provide the data 23 and me used to provide!!!
What information is lacking from the new reports? And do they provide all the raw data? If so, is it possible to do your own research based on that raw data? (I'm not arguing with you - I wish they would provide all the data possible).

#16In my limited understanding, this means that you can now pay twice as much as before to receive much less information than before.
There must be a lab located outside the US (and with no US footprint or marketing) that will nonetheless provide full results to anyone providing a sample.

I just like knowing I have the trait for smelling asparagus in urine.
Hahah agreed with @kej. Jokes aside, I've held off getting 23andMe because of this reason. Does anyone know?
There have always been partners you can get the entire suite of results from.[1] I don't know how they haven't been restricted, but my guess is the FDA can't ban telling you what a SNP does, but the FDA can ban 23 and me selling it as a service connected somehow? Anyways, you can find out everything you wanted to know and a million other things you probably will have trouble of fully understanding.

This headline (and the one from the NYTimes) is a bit misleading – 23andMe is resuming giving health data but they’re actually giving a different kind of data. This new data is related to carrier status – genetic mutations that could lead to disease in your offspring. They still hope to gain approval to give info on health risks (what they provided up until 2013), but there is no public estimate for how long it might take. It will happen, it’s just a matter of time.

I think Andrew in concerned that, since it's a US company, the feds get a copy of the data too.
