Best case? Endless spam for drugs and treatments for anything for which your data shows the slightest predisposition.
Worst case? should you be a perfect tissue match for any of our "betters" who needs a heart transplant...
Even worse worst case? The government has the data for their own purposes.

Would you trust sending you DNA sample to the wife of the founder of Google, whose sole mission is to make as much information available as possible?

I’ll see your heart and raise ya two kidneys, a liver and a pancreas,, just in case.. Ya never know..
The wonders of healthcare..
Under the control of genetically bred neanderthals masquerading as democrats.
I don’t think this is nutty at ALL. This is dangerous terrirty! DANGEROUS!
Facebook and the “free” email companies make their cash selling you- data about you. She wants to collect millions of genetic analyses, what a humanitarian!
Imagine what that data is worth to health insurance companies, life insurance companies, the supplement market, government, foreign government, political campaigns (for their opposition research), and agribiz!
I’ve got to go read their privacy policy. Wonder if it says they might change it at any time.
‘territory’ Yeesh!
I bet Obamacare won’t pay for the tests.
I bet they’ll end up requiring them to join SinglePayerObamaCare.
You up for $10 bet? Loser donates to FR. Bet expires 1/20/17.
Talk about a totalitarian wet dream!
It will probably be a requirement to visit your doctor for your yearly.
They already take all newborn’s DNA in the hospital. Ostensibly to check for inborn errors of metabolism and whatnot. However, they never destroy the samples. They’re kept indefinitely, ‘just in case’ they need a new sample. Because they’ll never be able to get another one from the baby. Or something.
Good idea. Heavens to Betsy, I don’t have enough personal information floating around to cause me trouble, yet. Where do I sign up?
“Big data is going to make us all healthier.”
No thanks.
This can be a lifesaver for the aging population. The efficacy of most of the drugs we will all be taking is controlled by our genes. Some of us are fast metabolizers of drugs, some slow. The bottom line is that standard doses of powerful drugs can deliver a sub-optimal or lethal dose. Good to know where you stand in advance.
Your friendly pharmacist.
When genealogical DNA testing came out years ago, I saw it as writing on the wall. No way would I ever submit voluntarily.
All of that is what I was thinking last night when one of their commercials flashed across my TV screen.
You pay someone $99 bucks for what should private info and then there no telling how many people have access to it.
The company needs an ongoing revenue stream and selling your info is the only way they can possibly grow.
So, now Wife of Google can collect this very private data, from sucking folks in with their hip ads, and -- Voila! -- 0Care knows everything about your genetic makeup.
