We hear from some that soon each baby's genome will be sequenced at birth. This vast amount of genomic information will be stored in a person's medical record for life and be referenced for personalized healthcare, be it for a diagnostic, a prognostic, or a prediction. But others say that it is still way too early to be generating so much information on each person when we know so little about the genome. This camp argues that we should deal with patients on a case by case basis using a more targeted approach.
