Today on board the good ship SS Tomorrow we explore the state of genetic testing today. With special guest Dr. Yael Joffe from 3x4 Genetics in Cape Town, South Africa.

It has been nearly 30 years since we have commenced mapping out the human genome, but where has genetic testing gotten us so far? Finding a cousin in Scotland perhaps. Dr. Joffe explains the state of genetic testing, the case for a DNA passport and how the future of medicine can be bespoke to your individual health needs.
