What are the potential downsides of the government having your DNA? I don’t think I can think of any for real

It’s absolutely abusive that in order to get your genetic background you have to be willing for the government to have your DNA.

What if the government in the nearby future decides it is illegal to watch porn? They trace your ip to your house, come with a search warrant, find you cumsock or vibrator covered in dna and you’re in the system. Boink! Off to horny jail with you!

Copy pasting my other comment
One day some insurance company will decide to pull out your protections because, turns out, you have X% chances to get a cancer by your 40. Then all other insurance companies do the same. Then, one of them accepts you, but you gotta pay N% more for the same coverage

Both of the responses to your comment are batshit lol.
I don’t like the idea of the government having my dna, but does anyone have a genuine (non irrational) reason it would be bad?

The cumsock comment was batty, yes, but the other is absolutely on point. You are delusional if you think this can’t go wrong.

Capitalism won’t let anything about you be yours if it can be avoided and the government works for the corporations. With enough money and government interference anything is possible and it is utterly naive to think otherwise.

It’s not even gouvernement, it’s other companies. One day some insurance company will decide to pull out your protections because, turns out, you have X% chances to get a cancer by your 40.

That’s the fear. Government was just used as hyperbole to make a point.
