  Major historical echoes here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_euthanasia_in_Nazi_Germany#Reich_Committee_for_the_Scientific_Registering_of_Serious_Hereditary_and_Congenital_Illnesses https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_euthanasia_in_Nazi_Germa...

  This has such obvious bad follow on effects. If the data leaks, nobody will be willing to share medical data ever again, which would end public health. Even if data like this never leaks wholesale, it stigmatizes people with minor behavior differences. This will put lots of people in a new closet, or worse.
