What if your DNA could get you fired, denied insurance, or labeled a criminal - before you've done anything wrong?
Genetic Discrimination: What Happens When Your DNA Determines Your Worth is a provocative, meticulously researched expos that reveals how your genome is being used - legally, quietly, and invisibly - to profile, exclude, and control you.
From corporate wellness programs that demand your DNA to insurers using polygenic risk scores to deny coverage, from forensic genealogy solving crimes by implicating innocent relatives to China's biometric control systems, this book uncovers a global shift: your DNA is no longer just medical data - it's your social score.
Based on real-world cases, expert insights, and hard data, this urgent narrative blends investigative journalism with scientific clarity to answer one chilling question:
If your DNA can predict your future - who gets to decide what that future is?
You'll discover:
How 23andMe and Ancestry sell your DNA to pharmaceutical giants - and you never get a cutWhy GINA doesn't protect you from life, disability, or long-term care insurance denialThe rise of AI-driven genetic profiling in hiring, lending, and educationThe new eugenics - not by state mandate, but by consumer choice and corporate algorithmAnd the growing resistance - from Indigenous data sovereignty to genetic anonymization toolsThis is not speculative fiction. It is a forensic examination of a system already in motion - one that threatens to create a genetic underclass.
If you've ever taken a DNA test, shared health data, or believed your biology was private, this book will change how you see yourself - and the world.
A wake-up call for the age of biocapitalism.
A must-read for bioethicists, policymakers, and every citizen who still believes their body belongs to them.
