A hidden service bitcoin accepting DNA service presumably gives their clients anonymity right? So long as the DNA cannot be readily connected to my 'real' identity, I don't see much problem with anybody having it.
I mean, say they straight up sell it to insurance companies... now insurance companies know that some guy, somewhere, has [pre-existing condition here]. So long as they can't disambiguate "some guy", is there a problem for me? I could see myself opting into that sort of situation.
- jonlucc 13y agoI wonder if your results are unique enough to be identifying. Also, there are legal protections (in the US) for health insurance, but not for life insurance.
- Crito 13y agoHmm, could be. If you start playing the 'bits of identifying information' game with DNA, I think it is conceivable that an insurance company (who already knows much about you) could narrow it down. That depends on how much they already know about you I suppose.
