Let’s take a vote.

Who thinks genome (re)sequencing will only be used for good/ethical purposes?

In my case, I’m one of them who was given extra years to live because of genomic sequencing and the good and ethical use of it. I think it’ll go a long way to helping reduce human suffering.

But on the flip side, there is unfortunately always a chance that it could be abused by some.

"I'm sorry, but your genome scan shows that you have a 98% chance of developing lung cancer in the next 10 years. Your application for life insurance has been denied."
