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 It’s not like no one saw this coming. We were warned for years that this could happen.

Probably coincidental, but disturbing that this would come out12 hours before the biggest attack on Israel in 50 years.

(The Ashkenazim are 35% of the population of Israel, and 75% of the world’s Jewish population.)
