Whilst I've only had a cursory look at the 23andme website, I am concerned that seems to be a lack of counselling associated with the results. When I studied the ethical aspects of genetics and biotechnology, a vital tenet of such genetic testing was that participants were supported by counselling. To simply tell someone "You have a y% increased risk of developing " can be a huge psychological blow.
