If 23 and Me goes bankrupt, they will sell all of the biometric data they’ve collected over decades to the highest bidder. Why can’t the US government step in to purchase the company and establish a public trust?

    Because nobody trusts the public and the public doesn’t trust anybody.

      Yet Millions of the same public gave 23nme their genetic data for basically nothing. So maybe trust isn’t the angle.

        For sure. I highly doubt people asked, will my DNA be safe if I send it to a for profit company?
