Synopsis
Is there a way to safeguard against the privacy implications of DNA testing? Biotech companies highlight the medical breakthroughs that may change human health forever thanks to the collected data. But finding out a genetic predisposition for a deadly disease can have real consequences — both psychological and financial. And what if these data were to fall into the hands of insurance companies or banks?
