What if it got bought by an insurance?
- throw__away7391 3y agoThe OP wasn't even talking about 23andme, it was some doctors at a university.
- ladberg 3y agoIt's been illegal for insurance to use your DNA to discriminate against you or charge different costs since 2008 (see the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act). If that changes I'll regret having used 23andme, but so far I'm not worried.
- dkural 3y agoGINA does not cover life insurance. That said, I agree with the overall point, research use does not cover insurance using this data charging someone different rates, and would be business-ending / corporate suicide for 23andMe.
