    Ok, they are using your data to drive pharma development. Does it really matter which pharma company gets rich. If it leads to improvement i. medicine it is a net gain for humanity.

      But what about the $0.20 or so that I’m owed for having my genes used for such a thing! No cancer cures until I get the pittance I deserve!

        i would be more bothered about knowing i will never be able to afford any life-saving meds that get developed with my DNA than not getting a cut of the profit.

        but anyway, i haven’t given them mine, for whatever that’s worth (since i know at least one family member did).
