Genetic tests ab ancestry, disease risk, drug response sab reveal kar sakte hain. Exciting bhi, scary bhi. Legal concern yeh hai: yeh information misuse ho ke employment, insurance, ya marriage decisions me discrimination tool na ban jaye.
Privacy law ka expectation:
- Clear consent before sample collection and testing,
- Limited purpose use,
- Secure storage,
- Sharing only with explicit permission or narrow legal grounds.
Companies ko seductive lag sakta hai “risk profiling” karna, lekin agar log gene-based discrimination se darne lagen, to testing ka trust base hi toot jayega.
Individuals ko bhi casually raw reports public platforms pe upload karne se bachna chahiye. Genetic info sirf aapka nahi; indirectly family members ke health clues bhi reveal kar sakta hai.
Law gradually yahan evolve ho raha hai, but core idea simple hai: aapka DNA aapke against weapon nahi ban sakta.
