(16,173 posts)I believe in science too, and agree with most of what you said. Greed overwhelms is, however, and here are a few facts: 1) protections against pre-existing conditions are on the chopping block, 2) background checks for employment screens could easily begin to include genetic information, 3) cant count on the courts to protect us, 4) big data can now take a set of data points and reasonably tie it to one particular person even if you personally did not submit your DNA, 5) far less likely, but Ill mention it anyway a truly psychopathic future leader could do twisted things with this database (master race, cleanse the population of deviants, etc.)
We are well on the way to a Darwinian, dystopian, inhuman future.
Nobody is hiding anything. is the only thing I dont agree with. They will monetize this in a way that allows basic humanity to be cast aside.
