<p dir="ltr">Personally, to me that would be less frightening, or at least equally frightening, to my previous 6 months in terms of 'schizophrenia' symptoms (schizophrenia as featured as a recent topic on your civgene site). My theory was that it had something more to do with nanorobots than genetics, in that it felt like people were reading every passing thought i had and reacting to it out loud. Were it not nanorobotic, it was spiritual.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm no longer in 'that' place as the medication is 'now working' as of 1.5 weeks ago.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Though i realize the idea of tiny robots in the brain which transmit your thoughts to other people/systems is really a tangent from where you were going.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It is my understanding that whenever you do a blood test, the testing companies often do sequence your DNA without your knowledge for whatever nefarious purposes they do it for (or maybe towards drug development or something). I believe those companies have your identifying information they put with the sample they take. So I don't think there's too much you can do about them doing this as is.</p>

Rob brought up interesting point and I thought the discussion should have a separate thread. The problem of bio-metrics is that a single database breach renders your body in a lifelong 'compromised' subclass to other human beings.<br>
<br>
This is increasingly important as genetic scanning and modification approaches TRIVIAL costs.<br>
<br>

<br>
This problem is brought up by the best genetic pros, pre CRISPR, but AFAICT not decisively answered. As it becomes trivial to implement genetic scanning, and human genomes begin to pepper data volumes of all security qualities. Is a de-identified genome sequence itself a security risk to it's genetic owner?<br>
<br>
Put another way, what happens when a sufficient variety of genetic tests/markers are available that a DNA sequence file is statistically indistinguishable from a fingerprint. When physical properties of the person can reliably IDENTIFY the sequence. 1-to-1. No swab needed. This will be here in months not years (if it's not already here) and could be crippling you for life both in authentication class, and in privacy (getting insurance, profiling your behavior, etc)<br>
<br>
Something to chew on.<br>
