Talk about trying to pull at heart strings. Good grief.

The truly sad thing about this whole debacle is it will set back research to perfect this kind of blood testing for decades.

I sure that's great news for the greedy fingers of the modern medical industry. They've already succeeded in (mostly) making genetic tests a one gene per pop $ transaction (hence what happened to 23andMe).

Defrauding the billionaire investors was likely not enough to get a lengthy jail sentence, so of course they do. Why shouldn't they, it's not like the victims aren't real?

But I don't see of it sets back research at all, if anything money invested in Theranos wasn't money available for companies doing something meaningful...
