<< I never could understand why people would willingly offer their DNA to companies

I can play devil's advocate and come up with some level of rationalization along the lines of 'it will help humanity cure cancer' in a handwavy kinda way, but even then one is trading future potential against near 100% guarantee that things do change in regards to what you gave -- that is: even if company is promising today it will not do something with data, a day will come when that will no longer be the case.

The blacksheep example is definitely interesting though and likely a good idea for a police drama episode ( if it wasn't used already ). Edit: And now that I think about it, if it would be made, it would show the the good certainly have nothing to fear indeed.
