As with all such ventures, the chances of success are, I daresay, one in one hundred, or even lower. But since I would very much like to see at least 10 of those ventures succeed in my lifetime, because as the author said, "Assuming it is true that you want to live longer, healthier lives — a position not shared by the dull and dreary", I think we must do everything we can to have thousands of these startups all over the world. Even if all we can do is give them moral support.

We have thrown far more money to adware-crap-companies of what we have thrown to systems biology startups, even if only the later can have a meaningful impact on human health.
