ah, here we go. The notoriously flawed "I'm doing nothing wrong and I have nothing to hide" argument.
There are so many reasons why this is wrong and it is a pretty well known philosophical stance. A couple reasons:
- You assume that the government is acting for your best interest. What would happen if we elect a crazy president that changes the direction of the country? (Think WW2 Germany with their eugenics).
- You are not doing anything wrong but don't you have information that you want to keep private? Getting an STD for example is not illegal but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't like that medical information available after a search with your name on Google.
- hi41 7y agoYes, I did not think of laws that can change in the future. I will reach out to 23andme and request the deletion of my dna results and my account. I hope it works.
- maxioatic 7y agoI'm curious what you mean by philosophical stance. Could you expand a little?
