What surprised me most about that page is that the Chief Science Officer doesn't have an MD or a PhD, though several other employees do. (Also, the Singularity Institute ties immediately rub me the wrong way, though that's a matter for another time.)
That's what scared me. Seriously, for a company like this, a Chief Science Officer must have a PhD. And there needs to be a Chief Medical Officer that is an MD (possibly the same person).
Starting a company like this with med students (I'm sure she's nice, but the VP of
Biology hasn't even finished her MD yet), is not the way to do this. It's a way to get sued.
So while the goals may be good, this is not the way to do it.
