It’s honestly so freaking good. I really wish they’d make another season, but I don’t see it happening now that they’ve done Echos (which I haven’t seen yet, no spoilers!). My only complaint is the first season doesn’t have Felix’s voice actor, but season 2 does, and it’s fantastic.
You should probably just assume that your genetic information is already or will be out there at some point. If you want to protect against how it could be used against you, my suggestion would be to change your last name from a genetically-based one to one chosen by you. It isn’t foolproof since the name change is public record, but it creates a firewall that makes it harder.
Nope, I never did
But you can’t control what your family does.
Honestly terrifying. Once that info is out there, who knows what could happen.
Will insurance use it to see if you’re pre-disposed to something and charge more?
Will a fascist group use it to find groups they think are undesirable? What if there’s a genetic component or predisposition to being gay/trans?
Will future terrorists or governments use it to engineer a virus that only affects a group of people? Assasinate an enemy and their entire family?
There’s a podcast sequel to Orphan Black that uses the plot from your last point, and it is excellent
Squeals like a little girl and heads to AntennaPod app
Edit: EEE it actually stars Tatiana Maslany herself! 🥰

That’s why I changed my legal name to “Marijuana Plant Johnson”
Too unique for a name database. Just change your last name to Nguyen or Chan. Throw off the scent.
Mohammed Nguyen it is
