To frame this as about partisan politics rather than greed, pure and simple, seems to distort the true injustice of Pruitt's actions.Could we tweak that to the strategy of his corporate overlords?

Could someone explain what the downstream risks of genetic analysis are to the descendants of sample providers? I’m concerned there are risks to family members of those who submit samples, but I don’t understand enough about genetics to know specific risks. Say I give a sample and a health insurance provider of the future gets that data. Could they learn risk factors about my children from my sample? If so, how far out do those risks exist? Does it extend to cousins or nieces/nephews?
