The linked article gives a good justification for not purchasing such tests to begin with, but it doesn't suggest that they should be outlawed.
You suggest that someone will get these tests done, then go to their doctor and ask what they can do about the results. I see absolutely no problem with that. You say that even doctors don't know how to evaluate conflicting results from these tests, but why is that a problem? Someone will go to their doctor and their doctor will tell them the test is meaningless. Even if people who got these tests done overused the healthcare system, it should still be allowed. These are private doctors and private insurance plans. Perhaps Medicare shouldn't cover further evaluations that are the result of such a test.
I fear for the future of our society when the belief that one should be able to obtain any desired information about oneself is referred to as a "simplistic interpretation of personal liberty". Please don't vote.
