6. You don't own your dna....

If you see a doctor for treatment and they find something interesting in your dna, you can't stop them from using it for profit or research.

Courts have held that dna and tissue are property, and not your property once someone else has it.

Follow the money and you will find law and policy.

Paternity does have costs in this society however. Those costs are based upon a man having participated in the creation of the child though, so not sure how this new technology will impact that.
