Re:Sequencing your DNA with a USB dongle and open source code by samchorlton on Wednesday February 03, 2021 @04:32PM (#26019417)
Thanks for your concern. All technologies come with benefits and risks. Of course, DNA sequencing can be used for harmful purposes, eg. tracking individuals. We should be very cautious of these risks as the technology develops, and take well thought out steps to mitigate them. A similar analogy can be made to the internet and tracking people. Overall, however, the benefits of DNA sequencing to society already far outweigh these risks.
