Will Our DNA & any other public identifying information be made public now?

It is quite easy to "scrub" the data so that they can study longevity without identifying it specifically as you or your family. They can sub in something like "Family A, child A1, etc".

Exactly- that is one use of the kit number each test had (i.e. so the actual names were't known by the people running the tests).

Happens in medical labs all the time on certain tests.

Yet, there will always be the original identifying information for cross referencing any coding done for appearances sake. Once it is in print or online, there will be perpetual records until someone invents a new method for storing data that makes current technology obsolete. It may then go the way of the Dodo bird like the floppy disk did, perhaps. I wouldn't want to bet a buck on it myself. If it proves to be a gold mine or higher value, you can bet that it will exist until the end of time----or its time.

In that sense, once you yourself exist, that cross-referencing for everything you have ever done exists not just the DNA test.

Perhaps yes, perhaps no. For the current generation, yes would be the most likely answer because they were born since the advent of the computer age and have been under the microscope since birth. For earlier generations, there would most likely be a magic date when computers began documenting everything that could be documented about a person. The earlier their birth date, the less older generations may have been caught up in such a database. But the fact remains that if anything was ever documented on paper, tape or film and those records survived until the computer age, then the likelihood is that "someone" has retrieved that data and scanned it. In MHO, I would say that most persons living today have already been partially, if not totally, compromised. And the race is on to expand those databases so that "someone" will have the power to make ALL decisions for ALL individuals for personal or corporate profit. That handwriting has been on the wall for a long, long time. Some of us may not have been paying attention . . . . .
