That's why I've never done a DNA test, it's not worth your literal biological data being sold off to god knows where to discriminate against you. I thought everyone realized this but didn't realize it was a niche opinion.

I don't know if this is exactly the scenario you are thinking of, but the sections on Covid and Australia show real treatment or insurance decisions being made based on genetics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_discrimination
