    Don’t get sequenced and encourage your relatives to avoid as well. It’s not worth risking your genome getting leaked.

      “Leaked”, as if tech companies reach multi-billion dollar evaluations based on retail sales.

      I totally agree in principle. Handing over your genetic information to shady 3rd parties is stupid. But how do you know it hasn’t happened without your knowledge or permission? Technology exists that can extract DNA from fingerprints (the PCR that was used for covid-19 tests). Meanwhile, how many blood tests do you get in a year? How do you know what happens with those samples?
