This was already happening in 1994. I brought this issue up to my squadron commander regarding DNA samples the military was attempting to gather from everyone. He said, "What, are you afraid we are going to clone you?" To which I said, "No sir, you should be afraid if you cloned me." and we both had a chuckle because we both know I was right.
I explained that insurance companies had already been denying claims for people laid up in the hospital based on "pre existing risk" that they might be at risk for getting cancer or becoming an alcoholic.
He had me submit a FOIA request which bought me some time. It went all the way to Al Gore. I received boxes of paperwork that essentially amounted to "The Chief Medical Officer can decide what to do with DNA information and how it is managed." That bought me enough time to hit my four years and get out without having to challenge them in court. I never gave them any samples and I do not regret my actions.
