What Are the Privacy Issues with DNA Testing?
Genetic testing poses significant privacy concerns, including the risk of re-identification even from anonymized data, third-party sharing without informed consent, and insufficient legal protections. The study found that up to 60% of individuals could be re-identified from anonymous genetic data, and genetic information could impact relatives who didn’t consent to testing. These findings emphasize the need for stronger privacy protections. How can we better safeguard genetic data to prevent misuse and protect individual privacy?
