“If you discover something that will end up in
a cure, or […] the management of how people
are treated, it’s very valuable. You cannot put
—how do you evaluate the cost of your life?
It’s about that. If you can find a cure, I mean,
what is the cost of a human life?”

identifying candidate mutations that might be
involved in the disease process of whatever
disease that you’re looking at.”

“Oh dear. They are potentially worth millions and
millions of dollars. If from ten tissues you could
say, ‘I can take normal breast tissue from an 18-
year-old woman and predict whether she’ll get
breast cancer or not,’ how much is that worth?
How much do you think that test is worth? Every
woman in the western world would get that test.”
