Wow.

Off to tell the boy not to get any sequencing done until I’m dead…

[Mik]

I won’t do it. No confidence in confidentiality.

I actually have done it both for me and the boy. I used a fake name for him (my father’s name, actually) for that reason.

Me I don’t give a shit. Anyone who googles me will see my worst known mutation and more medical history than they care to know (because I speak publicly about it often).

[Mik]

I'm not terribly concerned with what they can do today. I am thinking more about how it could be abused in the future.

[jon-nyc]

For eight years I’ve been living with a mid-single digit life expectancy. I don’t worry too much about my own future, at least not beyond the next 5 years.

[Mik]

Point taken. It would appear you will beat that statistic.

The thing is, even if you dont do it, there is probably some relative out there somewhere who has. So, they probably would be able to track you somehow.

I am not too worried yet, as I dont think the testing is too popular in Asia................ yet.
