(LifeSiteNews) – DNA samples collected by popular genetic testing services can be “sold off” and used to develop bioweapons targeted to a particular genetic profile, a U.S. representative warned on Friday.

“There are now weapons under development, and developed, that are designed to target specific people,” said House Intelligence Committee member Jason Crow (D-Colorado) during the Aspen Security Forum in Colorado on Friday.

 “…You can actually take someone’s DNA, take their medical profile, and you can target a biological weapon that will kill that person or take them off the battlefield or make them inoperable.”

Crow referred to popular genetic profiling services such as 23andMe or Ancestry.com, which are marketed for the insights they give into one’s predispositions for certain diseases, or their ability to connect adopted children with their biological parents.

“People will very rapidly spit into a cup and send it to 23andMe and get really interesting data about their background,” Crow said. “And guess what? Their DNA is now owned by a private company. It can be sold off with very little intellectual property protection or privacy protection.”
