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?
