“We literally hand over our most private data, our DNA, but we’re not
just consenting for ourselves, we are consenting for our children, and
our children’s children. Maybe we don’t live in a world where people are
genetically discriminated against now, but who’s to say in 100 years
that we won’t? And we are are paying to add our DNA to that dataset.”"
