@voltronic good and bad. There's a lot of medications that do better when we know there's a genetic component involved and who's at risk and treat earlier. Family history is no joke. Could be trying to see if some diseases are truly passed on and in what genetic pattern. There's a couple disorders in my family they are actively trying to figure out. Or for chronic pain people who aren't believed, this could be big.
But I understand fears of info getting out but we have to start somewhere.
@insomniacviolin
I'm not disputing any of that, but DNA data can often wind up places people don't expect. Law enforcement databases, for example.
@voltronic that's seems like a big ol yikes.
@voltronic I bet they could just pay the hacker who breached all that data a couple of weeks ago a quarter of that.
@th3j35t3r
This is exactly why I made it an alert post. People think that their data is only being used for the purpose they think that is. That's almost never true.
@voltronic
Thanks! I hate it.
