This is probably the wrong place to open said discussion (and per other issues raised in this repo), the premise is both fascinating and disturbing. The GINA act is intended for Healthcare and employment purposes, although using 23andMe as a means of restricting access raises some additional questions.

What about the specificity of genetic information as being a far too sensitive data for this repo's purpose. The accuracy of identity verification would be unprecedented, but at what cost and to whom if that data were exploited or leaked?
