@bonanzaman How would they know who my children are? With AI and all the information we have to give up throughout our lives I feel it is already out there. It is something that I no longer fear. Heck, Zuck and Google probably have had that info for years lol.

@chippydoo DNA testers share their data with a lot of companies. Do a search on "do the DNA test companies share their data". If your kids do a DNA test, then it will pop right up that you are family and if you have a genetic detectible disease that's in your DNA that information will be there too.
The insurers would love that information to deny coverage if they have a good chance of getting an expensive illness. There are some protections against that, but the data is out there. Do a search on

There are some protections with the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) and some with the ACA.
That's where I'm coming from.
