Hopefully not too many people will realize that the Sorenson is doing family history with DNA for free – http://www.smgf.org/

I think we should all be a bit skeptical of this family history monopoly in embryo. Who knows what this emerging superpower could be capable of? Will there come a time when it will become too expensive to do your family history because of price fixing? The FTC needs to step in here.

@ Reed
Price fixing, by definition, involves multiple “competing” companies colluding on prices. It is therefor impossible for a monopoly to engage in price fixing.
Get your facts straight before you run your mouth!
