This is compared to the 2015 promotion of the BRCA gene test by Angelina Jolie, which led to a surge in preventative mastectomies. The shift toward AI-based diagnostics is viewed skeptically as a potential new marketing cycle for the medical industry.

In a separate medical discussion, the hosts share a story of a woman who underwent a double mastectomy based on a false positive DNA test for the BRCA gene. They warn of the dangers of relying on single-source genetic testing for major medical decisions.

Dr. David Agus warns that while these tests are now affordable, they only cover a fraction of the over 1,000 possible mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. A negative result on a 23andMe test may provide a false sense of security for individuals who carry other high-risk mutations.

Jolie carries the BRCA1 gene mutation, which increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The hosts describe this trend of "preventative" surgery as a form of "self-mutilation" and question the medical ethics of removing healthy organs based on genetic probability.
