Geneticly based social networking

[Andreas Petersen]

We are two students from Denmark, studying for our master degrees in journalism. We are looking for case-subjects for an interview.

 

We are currently working on a theme, dealing with the possibilities of social networking on the basis of genetic-tests, offered by companies such as 23andMe.com. The idea is, that they map your genes and offers you a gene comparison with your friends, family, strangers, people from around the globe, etc.

 

If you have signed up for this or a similar project we would very much like to get in touch with you.

 

The purpose of the interview is to show readers

- What motivates you to do this?

- How do you use the information given?

- In general to understand what the phenomenon is.

 

The interview is for an examn project, but with possibility of being published in a danish magazine.

- If you don't want your name published, you can be anonymous.

 

Yours Sincerely

- Andreas Petersen, BA in Intellectual History, student Cand. Public.

- Niels Holm Pedersen, BA in IT, student Cand. Public.
