Talk:DeCODE genetics

message: I am very skeptical of the latest news from deCode that makes James D. Watson out to be 16% black.  Given his age, and social taboos in the era in which his immediate forebears lived, it seems very implausible, for example, that one of his grandmothers or great-grandmothers could have given birth to a black child.  If it had been shown that a black person was 16% white, it would be more credible, since white males probably took advantage of black females from time to time in those days. Anyway, Watson's mother is from Scotland, and his father was of Midland English extraction.   It is not incredible. though, that somebody would try to whip a dead horse by blackening Watson's name.  deCode is in financial hot water and has a history of scandal?  That could explain it.

:Aside from the incredibly poor choice of verb there, what's so horrible about the idea of somebody having a non-white ancestor? This is the 21st Century of the Fruitbat, after all! --Orange Mike  |  Talk 14:12, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Signed contract with Celera early 2009, reads like Celera utilise deCODE's db and dC get royalties of some formhttp://www.decode.com/News/news.php?s=18. I don't really understans financial terms, but it seems they're stalling, consolidating, and selling assets. Geno-Supremo (talk) 22:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I note that a lot of DeCODE's work has been controversial, but this isn't currently covered in this entry. Meanwhile, some content critical of the company has been removed by User:Thordurkristjans. Those edits might be useful fact-checking, but I've noticed that the same user has removed well referenced, critical content in Íslendingabók (genealogical database), so I'm a bit worried that there might be a case of Wikipedia:Conflict of interest here. Just thought I'd post here to see if ThordurKristjans or other editors want to respond before trying to improve coverage of DeCODE's controversies. Alarichall (talk) 09:46, 14 October 2017 (UTC)
