  1. This is amazing science. But it's application will need a much more sane world, or the technology will be corrupted. Maybe it will not matter in countries that have universal health care. But in countries such as the U.S. where care is a profit center, this personal information will be turned against individuals in order to save a buck. Or make two. For evidence, you don't need to look further than how insurance companies deny pre-existing conditions or make rates astronomical. Digital DNA is only a condition waiting to happen, or already happening.

  4. More and more assertion without evidence. And false analogy to boot. Buying a gun is voluntary and a choice. Getting sick is not. At any rate, I"m still waiting on you to support your initial comment. But not for much longer. I'm starting to smell troll.
