drug test? how about dna markers that say you are likely to have a drug problem?
- mcculley 5y agoMy 23andMe results show that I have the rs2472297 marker associated with slightly increased caffeine consumption. I also have the Irish ancestry associated with alcoholism that has been a problem in my family. I still consider my current diagnostic health test results to be more "sensitive" than the personal data I inherited and have no control over.
- gmadsen 5y agofyi, 23andme decodes less than 1% of your genome. Full decoding is getting cheaper every year. New genetic papers come out every week. Even if you think it isn't that big of a deal at the moment, who knows what will be able to be inferred from a full genome in 10 years from now.
- mcculley 5y agoI realize that. I don’t think my stance will change. The DNA I was born with is less important and sensitive to me than my decisions and outcomes.
