very true, but it will eventually happen.


It started in Iceland under the premonition that it would help icelanders track cancer and other deadly disease killing genes with the hope of finding a cure. Well the company went out of business and their personal information was sold to a French firm. I doubt it will come back to haunt the icelanders, but the race for the cure will now be conducted by someone else.

Here in the US people are scared to get an AIDS test because it is widely known that if your insurance company finds out you're receiving an AIDS test they get nervous and drop the subscriber from their company. The way around it was to go to the local city health clinic and get the test done under a pseudonym or number.

I am very worried with the healthcare system today. It's already difficult enough to find a decent insurance company that pays their fair share. Having a track record in the family for a disease marker would make those actuaries a pretty penny and leave many uninsured in their wake.
