I see, thanks for clarifying. I don't agree that the genie is out of the bottle, but regardless, yes strict regulation of and siloing of biometric databases would be welcome. The problem is it's not a great look to be "against catching the bad guys." If I provide the literal essence of my being for some medical or ancestral purpose, it should be used for that purpose only, full stop—no exceptions, which means some kind of cryptographic enforcement. If the police need a suspect's DNA, they can collect it by hand, with a warrant. And it should be thrown out when the suspect is cleared of charges (and maybe even post-prison release). On the employer side, given how they love pseudoscientific personality tests, it's not hard to imagine an HR product correlating DNA with worker traits: "This employee shares 99.9998% DNA with a cluster of criminals convicted of wire fraud.
