I guess but if a shadowy company wanted my DNA they could get it easily enough even if I don't hand it over to them so I'm not sure how much point there is in being protective of it. Anyway what are they going to do with it, that a medical company couldn't do?

The government already has my blood from back when they were doing medical testing, so it's all a bit of a moot point anyway. Also an insurance companies took some blood and they did an MRI scan so they have my brain as well. Jokes on them if they choose to clone me, I'm bloody useless.
