Re: New title "SS"

Yep, I think you nailed it, Bobbi. We're already set up in a business where we can accept short, one-time assignments from people we never meet, often during business hours, that require physically traveling to a different location and interacting with some third party to accomplish some type of transaction.

Many different types of businesses have survived over the past couple of centuries by redefining, or changing the paradigm, of what it is that they do. We know there are tons of scammers out there, but that doesn't mean there aren't some opportunities.

My doubts with the issue in the OP (aside from the fact that I misread it in the beginning... Wink) was how much value would there be to genetic info for an elderly person when making healthcare decisions. I'm rethinking that, as I realized that even though I don't relate to that description at all, some would consider me an "elderly" person. Wink And I did have a situation several years ago where a genetic test was recommended for me (which thankfully turned out negative) in relation to a decision about a medical procedure.

[But it took more than a tissue swab. Supplies and instructions were sent directly to me. I had to spit into a tube - just to look for a couple of gene markers... Fun. But maybe things have changed drastically in the intervening years. BTW, I did end up feeling a bit scammed. The well-referred doc who recommended it said the test would be covered by my insurance. It was, but I wasn't told that the "counseling" required to get the results would cost me $300. That came out of my deductible, of course. Grrrr]
