This particular Ginii is out of the bottle.

Technological advancement and growing databases will make this easier and cheaper.

In ten years, a DNA sample, like a hair or a few skin cells, will be enough to determine everything there is to know about a person. Name, finances, relationships, medical history and vulnerabilities, politics, pets, driving habits, browser search history, what kind of car they drive, and what brand of beer they drink.

In twenty-five years you will be able to do this instantaneously with your phone.

A corollary is that it will all be accessible with only your personal details.

Even if you haven’t had your DNA sequenced, your genetic vulnerabilities will be predicted from your relatives and will be on your file with all the other stuff.

And all this will be datamined to hell and back in order to reverse-engineer human DNA so that it can be ‘improved’.

A nightmare, but also the inevitable future.

Why isn’t Google active in DNA testing and archival? Or, more likely, when will they admit it?

Wouldn’t that be a great addition to your comprehensive data profile?
