The obvious solution is with legislation for transparency and better health care system.
I do worry about my data with them, but when I think about the worst-case scenario - you will not get insured (or have high rates) because you have {some genetic condition}.. it seems just as likely that they will simply require my DNA to apply for insurance. (or get my DNA from a blood test within their system, etc.). The obvious solution is with legislation for transparency and better health care system.
s/insured/hired
Wait until we have DNA detectors wired up to collect the DNA we exhale and rapid sequencers that handle what might be below the limit of detection today.
Maybe that's fifty years down the road, but it's coming.
Gattaca was a prescient premonition, it was just a hundred years ahead of its time.
