Your project sound very interesting as it might help people get ahead of a lot of diseases. My concern with DNA is often privacy and how DNA can and will be used in the future. Just an example no trying to exaggerate but we are already reading on the possible creation of targeted weapons. Who is to say some "Hitler" will not rise to power in the future and use DNA to wipe a race from the planet.

Scientifically? Absolutely nothing would prevent prevent someone from doing that. Furthermore, it would be exceedingly simple to pre-edit the "chosen ones" so the delivery virus would bounce off them. There's a 17-minute video on the about us page of our website where I discuss our plan for privacy and security and why the blockchain needs to get ahead of centralized authorities and quickly. If we were to sit together in person we could have a conversation on that late into the night on that topic. Thank you for your comment (and hopefully your YouTube Vote).

I think they just used DNA from Ancestry.com to catch the Golden State killer did they not? The next step I worry about is your insurance company using your DNA to charge you more or less based on your families DNA analysis and and predisposition to disease/illness.
the first time I heard of this, but is possible!
In a video here I walk though a bit of the Terms and Conditions of a popular DNA sequencing service (See ~2:40 of the 17-min video). Clearly we don't need to worry about that, since the service makes people browsing DNA promise they're not insurance companies or employers seeking DNA information about people they are involved with.
