    The biggest worry is that the data might be right and might be used by an insurance provider to deny a person’s cover

    Though that’s not a realistic problem. The various DNA ancestry companies’ privacy policies prevent them sharing with insurance companies.

      Ok, but if that’s something insurance companies want to do, they’re not going to be stopped because you didn’t send a DNA sample to 23andMe, nor are they going to have to go scrape up questionable data off the black market. They’ll simply offer people some discount for sending in a DNA sample or even make it a requirement for coverage.
