2. Your genetics do not determine your potential, but your environment does. How so? In a society that elevates sports players, but doesn’t elevate creativity, the sports player is more likely to succeed even if he/she possesses low creativity (IQ). You may be prone to to Alzheimer’s, but if you stay away from the “cause”, you have nothing to worry about. Illnesses don’t miraculously appear like a ticking timebomb, they are triggered. That identified trait would be classified as a weakness, which knowing your weaknesses will help you and/or give you an edge if you are competitive. Some of your other identified traits would be classified as strengths, such as high spatial reasoning, which counterbalances what some may perceive as a *flaw*.

No one is perfect, which for a society to reach its highest potentially it must be diverse with everyone focusing on what they love. Doing what you love translates into exceedingly high productivity, as well as immense innovation if it just so happens you are innately good at it.

Don’t let the Eugenicists get you down. They are imbeciles and should start by purging themselves from the gene pool.

1. What happens to individuals’ genetic material and sequencing when the private company goes belly up, or when the government demands (or changes the law to allow/compel) disclosure of the information? Today’s promises are worthless when the data is “in the cloud” ..in another country where privacy laws are different or don’t exist.

2. Insurance companies and potential employers already make judgments about who they’ll take on as a risk, and have already disqualified people because their gene sequence indicates they MIGHT develop a particular health problem. There are no controls to prevent against genetic discrimination and ethicists continue to debate (read: talk sense to) the issues with legislators, bureaucrats and technologists are debating to protect their own positions and income streams.

I’d be more afraid of those than I would knowing what my future might hold. At least I have control over me. The rest of them are self-interested and do not represent my interests or those of any individuals.
