Quote:Welcome to what Smithsonian Magazine calls "the outlaw edge of the genetic testing world." Ancestry.com, which claims to have amassed genetic information on more than 1 million customers through its $99 DNA kits, is in early talks with the FDA to use that information to tell customers about their risk of disease and other health information, the Verge reports.

information is going to be used in ways that nobody has thought about......

it's only the beginning....

one can't escape this shite.....

edit: the day cash becomes invalid....you don't want to know.....

Some people get DNA kits to find that health stuff out.

I'd say this is more telling on the condition of our world. To think these people are the voters for the Demoncratic Party.

Obvious. Too self-important to understand what you are writing about or to read responses. Ancestry.com is a huge company in geneology. Huge. I'm surprised you don't see their ads everywhere.

If you think something is important, you should copy it. You seem to think the 2nd paragraph is important, but you didn't copy it. You copied other things. But its not important. You just don't understand what you are complaining about.

Its not being used "against" people. Its giving people more information. They are trying to sell that info to those individuals. There are other companies already doing this, but they aren't as big as ancestry.com. Ancestry is trying to piggy back on their success in geneology.

This is nothing new. Just a new company doing it.

1. didn't think it was appropriate to copy the entire article

2. didn't say what they were doing was new

3. the point is still valid in extrapolation.....assumed someone might think of something that might apply to this in concept that hasn't been thought of....like your kids getting screwed b/c of some gene you had based on something you did or your parents did that you may have forgotten about....like predetermining violent activity...

silly me for thinking that could happen...

Isn't ancestry.com just the Mormon Church?

Why would anyone be upset about finding out more about their DNA?

It's not that, it's what the companies can then do with that info that is worrisome.

Please post a link where Obamacare makes it illegal to sell/share DNA results.
