Future generations are going to look at this generation’s laxity with genetic data and privacy in the sane way we look back at smoking, Jim Crow laws and fossil fuels.

You can’t change your genetic data like you can a password and once it gets out it not only affects you both your relatives and your offspring.

You carry a gene for a chronic disease that’s inherited? Now insurance companies know that about you, your kids and grandkids.

Unbelievable privacy self own.

@carnage4life Been screaming into the void about this for so many years. And we undoubtedly haven't even conceived yet of how this data will be used against us or our descendants, just because someone thought it would be fun to get a crappy report that they were 30 percent Italian or whatever. How stupid.
