Well, shucks, why not apply the exact same argument to health insurance as well? Or even auto insurance? While adverse selection is undeniably a tricky problem, the underlying raison d'etre is pooled risk, to help individuals and families mitigate catastrophic losses. Maybe you're all right with the prospect of future analyses condemning to uninsurability folks with rare combinations of alleles that turn out to be strongly deleterious. To me, this seems like breaking the regulated semi-statis between insurers and insureds, and like breaking the social contract more generally.
