Your DNA reveals intimate details about your information about your ancestry, predisposition to certain diseases, current and future health, etc. This makes it a potential target for misuse, such as hate crimes, surveillance, and discriminatory practices.
Your DNA is a “forever” part of you, so think carefully before sharing it 🙂
