For at least 20 years, they have sold it to insurance companies. That is why I fought the military collecting DNA. I escalated all the way to Al Gore. That bought me enough time to get my honorable discharge and walk away from those lunatics. Before someone mentions it, 23andMe has not been around that long, but companies are just flavors. They come and go but the same people and labs have been around for a long time. My unit commander said, "Are you afraid we are going to clone you?". I replied, "No sir, you should be afraid you are going to clone me." We both had a chuckle because we both knew I was right. I then explained how insurance companies were retroactively canceling insurance policies based on "genetic predisposition to {xyz}" for people laid up in hospitals with large medical bills and that it was my patriotic duty to fight this, even if it meant a court martial. I should add, all of my FOIA replies were about as generic as a car commercial. It amounted to: The Chief Medical Officer of the DoD can do anything with this data and retain it as long as they wish. |
