Right so just because something might happen eventually doesn't absolve anyone of what we do today.
It is already understood that you don't really have a right to privacy decades after your death. If someone wants to map out my DNA and sell it they can when I am dead and my kids are dead and my grandkids are dead with my blessing.
ha no, this is happening today. we are catching criminals today that are tangentially related to dna samples in databases all over the place. its not going to be multiple decades after death. the more data added. the easier it is today to be able triangulate people already related to you. because at the heart of the matter, we are all related.
the resolution will only get better in the next few years as we start slapping LLMs on it.
your dna has no value.
dna databases have value.
i agree, no need to wait on extending anti-discrimination laws. lets do it yesterday.
but again, my dna is not private, today.
The pre-cogs have determined that you will commit murder in 20 years. Please do not resist when you are arrested for future crime.
