It already only costs $4000 for a full genome. (Complete Genomics)

well, reportedly it's $4000+ only for materials.
but the point is - why would anyone want full genome for a specific procedure?

Not really for a procedure, but for more complicated, long-term disease: multiple sclerosis, cancer, arthritis, diabetes, etc. Knowing your genome will likely allow you to predict how you might respond to certain therapies.
