Comment on Think twice before analyzing/releasing your genetic dataparent

So: what about if you apply for insurance and are asked along the lines "if you have any knowledge of a high probability of specific illness due to genetic testing?"

Sure, you can lie. But god help you if you ever need coverage [even for a non-related disease] and the insurance just flat out won't cover you.

I for one rather don't know and don't. One of the major reasons is exactly the one described above.

Personally, I would recommend moving to a country where you don't have to worry about such fears. Any non-US first world country will do.
