I am not kidding. Only a subset of college educated people have that cynicism > If we sat around and waited for the perfect environment that addressed everybody's concerns, we'll be waiting forever. Forever sounds better than the alternative. You seem so eager to sacrifice so much on the altar of hope based on wishful thinking that this data will not be abused. The #1 rule in technology should be "if it can be abused,it will be abused" there are no exceptions to this. Like another commenter suggested,perhaps your current place in society has you free from such fears but rest assured that in times of war,turmoil or civil conflict or when spy agencies and the military want to gain an operational advantage using this tech/data It will be used against you. Your sick and disabled family members would have been subject to eugenics. It's not difficult to imagine any social group finding themselves in a position of weakness against a hostile power,group or individual. Look at all the horrible experiments the CIA performed, euegenics by usgov/army, the horrible things they did in Iraq and cia detention facilities,etc... the typical situation imho will be a cooperation between evil government and these companies where the companies abuse the data/tech with impunity in exchange for sharing access with their gov protectors. Just take a peek at all the inhumanity and amorality of the pharmaceutical industry's greedy price hikes/rigging. Do you still think these are trustworthy people who won't take every opportunity to profit and say "sorry" when they get caught? (Or just bribe politicians and ignore the whole thing). I mean how naive and deluded are you? I still don't get you and op's state of mind here. Horrible abuses will happen at large scales, guaranteed (not even speculating)!
