DNA test: what next for our datas?

uncle-greedy

The service that has the ability to map significant portions of the genome has raised controversial questions including whether the results can be interpreted meaningfully, and whether they will lead to genetic discrimination.

This is a problem given the subsequent use of the "customers" genetic data. Tomorrow, Google will certainly offer free DNA analysis. But this in order to collect your personal data, as always. And what if it was used at commercial means…

Google then holds personal data valuable in the eyes of the major pharmaceutical companies that are constantly looking for information on specific populations.

The states of New York and California unsuccessfully attempted to block such tests (provided by 23andMe as well as other companies) under the grounds that they were not properly licensed and attempted to require tests to be conducted only when ordered by a physician.
