One company screws up, people start to look more carefully at others.
But I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a lobby that you speak of, which is funded by.. umm.. crime industry?
- myself248 8y agoOr you know, privacy or something? If a family member signs over their genes, and they share a lot of genetic material with me, my privacy is compromised. I like to think I should have some form of agency over the intrinsic things that make me who I am, but this industry couldn't care less about that. That squicks me out. Would you send me a scan of your fingerprints? Or do your crime industry connections suggest that you shouldn't do that?
- primordialsoup 8y agoYou are right. I was trying to think who might have deep pockets to fund lobbying against genetic testing, that's all. Privacy is definitely a valid concern that I forgot about!

I think in this case the deep pockets would mainly be on the side of selling more genetic testing, as opposed to selling less. After all the pocket holders themselves aren't being tested.
- sorokod 8y ago"my privacy is compromised" As well as the privacy of your ( possibly still unborn ) children.
