  1. How do you feel about the statement that such tech is impossible? I imagined the theronos claimed tech working something like genalyte, Monoclonal antibodies coupled with microsensors , but just in huge arrays within a microfluidic network. Is there really a reason why that couldn't happen? The only reasons I can see for something like many of her claims not to be possible are , it would be limited to what antibodies could be made for with enough selectively, not reusable and expensive. So, does that sound right to you?

  2.  @tridinh1011  how did you come to the conclusion that it's impossible? Are you a professional biochemist and a electronic microchip engineer? Or did someone of that caliber explain why it's impossible? Yes some aspects are impossible (I forget which ones) and they were caught up in so many lies it hardly mattered what was possible and not anymore... I believe that in principle the technology is definitely possible , and Theronos f'ed it up for a lot of potential future companies! I still can't believe some people think the tech is illegal!

  3. I hear students saying things like they thought 'lab on chip' devices were ilegal , and proven impossible... This whole debacle is going to cost us a major fraction of a generation of future talent that got steered away from the field by all the BS. Of course if they juge it ilegal without context, maybe we can afford to skip this generation..
