True, but there is a very real concern about who else will have access to this extremely personal health data and the potential misuse of it. Shalom.

PO1 Tony Holland - that's true of everything in our post 1984 society.

PO1 Tony Holland This article failed to mention and only speaks to the DNA used by testing companies, but your DNA is everywhere. It is on your comb, on the floor of the Barbershop, on your toothbrush, and your skin is shedding skin continuously all the time. Not to mention every time you donate blood, there is a bag full of your DNA and your dentist has your DNA, etc. The point I am trying to make, if someone wants your DNA, they do not need to buy it from a genetic genealogy company, when they can get it free almost anywhere. Our legislators need to focus on something more important rather than trying to find more regulations to impose on successful companies.
