i'm curious, what's the worst-case scenario if one were to put their whole DNA data exposed publicly? would a future civilization re-make your image? or are there societal benefits?
So, I suppose, if everyone could use the data, everyone could use it to develop drugs, not just 23andMe. That’s good if you want more drugs to be developed and released… bad if you don’t.
>On April 18, 2018, a DNA sample was surreptitiously collected from the door handle of DeAngelo's car;[64] another sample was later collected from a tissue found in DeAngelo's curbside garbage can.[185]
DNA as the guilt-by-association, they then will get the evidence.

as far as re-making you I think those like thiel and others are in to trans-humanism. so probably to help make the ultimate borg.
I'm currently in the process of figuring out where my most distant known paternal-line ancestor came from. Took a Y-DNA test, found a very distant all-male line cousin who was open to taking a Y DNA test (because he had already taken one at 23andMe, I knew the odds were good that he would be OK with it - the 23andMe test also had enough Y information that I knew it was likely we both descended from the same man).
His first results came in yesterday. In another couple of weeks, when his Y SNPs come in, we'll know which of my ~10 private mutations (ones no one else has been found to share) we have in common, which will in turn put better time estimates on our distance to other testers in our part of the Y-tree.
I did the 23andme thing years ago (foolishly or not, I found it interesting), and everything on there at the time and when I checked recently said I had no markers for anything. They are very pro-active in reminding you all over the app/website and for each condition they track that they only track a few markers so the results are obviously not really that predictive of anything, and that practicing a healthy lifestyle (whatever your genetic markers) is the most important thing to do.
