Indeed it doesn't do the same level of sequencing. But the specimen is not being thrown away after the test, but kept in an archive. In some states like California you can revoke consent at least. See the list of states with how long they store the specimens here: https://www.cchfreedom.org/files/files/Newborn%20Retention%20All%2050%20States%202018.pdf https://www.cchfreedom.org/files/files/Newborn%20Retention%2... Governments might use this archive to sequence the DNAs down the road and then use it similarly to how they are already using those private services. Prices of sequencing are sinking as we speak.
