What's next is medical care that's tailored to the individual. A patient having their DNA profile attached to their record will help diagnosis and determining what prescription would be most effective for them. Doctor patient confidentiality will continue to protect this information as it does with other health information currently.

I hope so. DNA profiles would be easy to abuse.
