[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’d be an idiot to spend that kind of money especially given you are starting with a low IQ. [/quote] Clearly there are a lot of other “idiots” that disagree with this statement. There are already a few hundred to a few thousand people that [b]have done this (for polygenic disease risk)[/b] in the US. There are at multiple companies in the (Orchid, Genomic Prediction, Myome, etc.) that offer probabilistic disease risk scores for IVF. Other people are doing this already and there is a risk that families who don’t do it will fall behind within in a couple generations. [/quote] You absolute simpleton. Disease risk is not the same as predicting IQ, so no: there are not a few thousand people that have done "this." You sound like the perfect customer for what they're selling, so go buy it. But don't kid yourself that the unanimous consensus here that you're being scammed and this is not worth $40k even if it could be proved accurate is a sign that everyone but you lives in the Dark Ages or cannot understand the benefits as they've been explained to you (and eagerly swallowed). You're just a mark with extra money, which is everyone's favorite kind of mark.[/quote] [b]I didn’t say thousands of people have done this for IQ.[/b] I said hundreds to thousands have done this for polygenic disease risk. To my knowledge, only a handful have done this for IQ so far. Not sure if any of these kids have been born yet though. [/quote] If only threads remained on the internet to be read so you could be easily disproven. Oh wait. . . You said [i]Clearly there are a lot of other “idiots” that disagree with this statement. There are already a few hundred to a few thousand people that have done this (for polygenic disease risk) in the US.[/i] In response to "this statement" that you'd have to be an idiot to waste [u]$40k to try to predict IQ[/u]. So you now realize that there are [b]not[/b] a lot of other idiots who disagree with this statement? Because there are not thousands of people who have spent $40k to try to predict IQ? Instead you are trying to glom on to parents trying to determine the likelihood of heritable diseases, which is not the same thing. Like I said: you absolute simpleton, they have not done "this" - this being what you want to do. They have not spent $40k to try to gain a 2 point IQ advantage, because that is a stupid goal and unproven science. Waste your money how you want; waste your time how you want. I'm not responding to this circular nonsense any longer. [/quote]
