For example, your DNA might provide a cure or treatment for some disease that you could otherwise sell for 180 quadrillion dollars.

I also question the integrity of these new companies that provide DNA profiles online. How competent are they? How do they store the data? How do they protect the data from hacking? There are too many unanswered questions for me to blithely send my DNA anytime soon. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-79650889835522170872017-11-07T13:09:01.472-05:002017-11-07T13:09:01.472-05:00LL: There are too many opportunities for the data ...LL: There are too many opportunities for the data to be hacked and end up being used for unintended purposes. cubehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13788126579896276199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-47641954466548972102017-11-07T12:33:18.878-05:002017-11-07T12:33:18.878-05:00As I learn more and more, I trust government less ...As I learn more and more, I trust government less and less.Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07145008534811435024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8585693.post-10521700321585811122017-11-07T11:28:25.265-05:002017-11-07T11:28:25.265-05:00I'd rather not have my DNA profile on-line.
