I agree this is bad but why is it bad if an employer says they want a genetic workup done and just don't hire you if you say no? I just wouldn't take the job and I don't see what's wrong with that.

If you're employed as a test subject for a new cure to something getting a genetic workup seems very reasonable and is about the only time I'd acctually say yes to something like this. That's really the only case I can think of where this makes sense.

Why do companies actually want to do this? Do they think people will still work for them if they do?

If most people are willing to say yes, it becomes more difficult for you, or rather a hypothetical prospective job candidate, to say no.
