Seems kind of scary to me. What happens if I'm denied insurance, or a job because of some risk factor I have. Or even my kids?

Or even discover a way to make an drug even more addictive.

There are federal and state laws in the US which prevent health insurers from denying you based on your DNA test, but that isn't true for life insurance[1].
