I’m hoping in 500 years, my DNA sequence is found on a perfectly preserved micro SD card and my clone gets to meet President Camacho and take on Beef Supreme and the Dildozer on Monday Night Rehabilitation.
However, on June 13, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc, that human genes cannot be patented because DNA is a “product of nature.” All gene patents were invalidated with this ruling. However, the ruling did not prohibit the patenting of DNA that is manipulated (i.e., no longer a product of nature) or processes for identifying DNA sequences.
It isn’t yours, if you use them you signed it all over to them. They patented your DNA.

That’s the optimistic timeline, we still have to actually get there first.
I am sure you can come with what a pessimistic timeline would look like.
I don’t have to, I watched Planet of the Apes
The monsters.
Well, that originally autocorrected to “mobsters,” but I suppose that’d work in a certain context, too.
You can’t patent DNA… They can sell it though, with a simple TOS update (if they even need to).

For those too lazy to click through:
did you paste the link to admit you were wrong?
That’s not true in the slightest. I agree with the fuck 23&me sentiment but you don’t have to make things up to criticize them.

tl;dr you’re mistaken
did you not read your link?
