This is very unethical and you should be ashamed of yourself. You leaked 50% of your direct relatives here, 50% of any future or current children you have. Did you ask them for consent?

Perhaps my ethical framework does not match your framework? Note that I start from the premise that genetic data is not possible to keep secret (you shed skin cells in public, state-level agents can get warrants to grab a cup you used from the garbage, etc).

(no, I did not ask my children or my spouse or my parents or any other relatives for "consent").

Nothing is possible to keep secret if you're talking about state level agents combing through your garbage obviously.

But do you think there might be a difference between leaving out a cup of coffee you drank from versus publishing it and advertising it online?

Even assuming you had a point, which I don't believe you do, it wouldn't be your place to decide this.

You know for certain people won't ever face discrimination or other negative things based on their DNA? Where does this confidence come from?
