DNA is like no other molecule, a trove of genetic secrets about your past, your present and your future. Decoding it will soon cost less than a pair of designer shoes, and everyone – doctors, employers, insurance companies, identity thieves, and yes, even marketers – may want to peek into yours. But do you? With genetic science still in its infancy, how much ambiguity can you live with, how much anxiety? And how much would you share, even with family members who also share your DNA? In this lecture, Carolyn Abraham will take a provocative look at the potential and perils of the genomic age ahead.
