Answer 4

An issue i've come across is the use of DNA sequencing data by insurance companies and employers as methods for participant exclusion.

For example, lets say you get your genome sequenced and you find out you're prone to heart disease, alzheimers, etc.

Will insurance companies be able to give you a higher premium based on these, or not insure you at all?

What about employers? If you're prone to not being able to work in the next 10 years, will they simply go to the next applicant?

Thanks.
