House GOP backing a bill that will allow employers to require genetic testing and given them access to employee health information

[Brian Howell]

Although the information would be aggregated and otherwise anonymized, in small companies it could be possible to identify individuals. Moreover, the law would allow companies to ask employees to submit to genetic testing, for which the information would not be anonymous. And companies are often very good for creating incentives to encourage employee behavior—compliance.

Compliance has become the national religion.

And this particular app fits perfectly in line with the current sociopolitical trajectory.  

Profitable applications for management, and for the C students, cool sounding.

Whatever you do, do not be caught out of style.

Don't be the guy whose genome interests nobody.
