> Might be important if you were planning on a life of crime

I'm very sad reading statements like this on hackernews.

Is that really an argument when it comes to privacy? Especially these days?

'crime' is a generic term which can change depending on who's in charge of the country.

I mean, personally I think everyone should be prepared to start a life of crime. But hiding your genes is like trying to hide what you look like - basically impossible. Privacy is about not being able to associate people's actions with them, not hiding that people exist in the first place.
