My company has had biometric screenings for a few years under the guise that the employee can get discounted insurance rates. I personally think they do it to see who may have chronic illnesses coming and those will be the ones they target for layoffs. I’ve never subjected myself to the screening. Hopefully it won’t be mandatory in the next two years and I will be retired by then.

If only the men who drafted the 14th amendment had known about DNA.

Gregor Mendel may have started publishing his results by then, but the Library of Congress probably did not subscribe to the journal his articles were published in. James Garfield could have translated them for his colleagues.

That little fourth amendment thingy is such a bother.

Which is absurdly ironic...

I paid good money for a most respected and expensive genetic profile, because I was adopted and have no meaningful family medical history.

Obama's Department of Health or some such prohibited the genetics company from revealing what I paid the company to find out.

It's been a year and a half...

I want all elected officials to be forced to take an IQ test, with all results made public.
Not just an IQ test, but also a test on basic economics, One on History and One on The Constitution.

Minimum passing grade : 90%

No affirmative Action exceptions of any kind.

If the company was 23andMe, I think they were blocked for a time but are again offering medical analyses...but they are not terribly expensive so maybe you meant a different company.

Unfortunately, DNA tests do not reveal where someone was born.

Crap, I couldn’t take being an employee 16 years ago, so stayed working for myself. Sounds like it’s more or less a coins concentration camp type setup now. Effing tyrants.
