From the paper:

> While most people would agree that putting a serial killer behind bars is an acceptable tradeoff, questions are nevertheless growing about who should control the genetic data compiled by genetic testing companies and how that data should be used: Are we willing to give up our genetic information in exchange for more efficient law enforcement, health information, and consumer targeting practices?

Yes, I am. It's worth it.

Great, you are okay with losing autonomy. I am not and I am not okay with your loss of autonomy.

Your acceptance of this loss of autonomy will cost me my autonomy.

The benefit is to ensure punishment for a wildly unlikely, tragic thing occurring.

I think you don't understand what humans lose.

No, I just don't believe the genetics database reduces my autonomy any more than going outside or posting a photo of myself online.

You're attacking straw men here.

I read the entire thing lol. I don't agree with your conclusion. The paper doesn't make that conclusion.
