If it were possible to obtain this information completely anonymously, I would jump on this chance. But I certainly don't want to give my genetic info to insurance companies, especially since I don't know what it says about me yet.

It's not my reaction I'm worried about, it's the reaction of the companies I interact with that want to make a profit off me.

Since when is making a profit morally suspect?
Making a profit on its own isn't. Making a profit at the expensive of everyone else is.

It's certainly possible to charge people more or less based on whether or not they won the genetic lottery. It's also a really shitty thing to do.
