Several days ago, the FDA held a public meeting regarding Oversight of Laboratory Developed Tests, which includes DNA tests that are marketed directly to consumers.  Some people believe these tests should only be obtainable through doctors.  Katherine Borges, the director of the International Society of Genetic Genealogy, spoke at the meeting and here is a link to her speech posted by Megan Smolenyak in The Huffington Post.  If you agree that people should not be forced to go through their doctors to obtain a DNA test, please sign the petition at this link.
