Your genetic data is being sold now — not someday. This episode examines how direct-to-consumer DNA testing turned intimate biology into a commodity and why promises of anonymization, consent, and legal protection are myths. Combining cybersecurity, bioethics, and policy analysis, we trace how re-identification is technically trivial, how consent forms mask sweeping perpetual rights transfers, and how current laws leave genetic data exposed. Interviews with privacy experts, ethicists, technologists, and breach survivors reveal the surveillance, insurance, and law-enforcement risks that follow when your genome becomes corporate property.

What we'll discuss:
- 🧬 The myth of anonymization
- 📝 The illusion of informed consent
- ⚖️ Legal loopholes and weak protections
- 👮 Law enforcement and familial surveillance
- 💊 Pharmaceutical data partnerships
- 🔒 Alternatives: privacy-preserving research tech
