Though this sounds pretty cool, and i have heard of a couple other companies that do something similar it raises a lot of spooky questions. One of the big upcoming legal battles will be whether or not insurance companies can base your insurance price on your genetic susceptibility to certain conditions, and whether this kind of testing would mandatory to get insurance. Even though you might never, ever have a heart attack and exercise every day of your life, you may still have to pay extra because you genetically a prone to them. Your genes could easily one day be as precious and secret as your PIN number, and this both excited me and gave me pause.
Do you find this valuable?
