Spike, how can that possibly work?

We can't edit our DNA sample so as to only provide a set of sequences, 
and not the rest.

And your DNA /is/ your identity, how can it not be?

Anyone who claims that they can 'anonymise' your DNA sample is probably 
lying, or even worse, doesn't understand what they are saying.

The attachment of conventional identifiers like name, address, age, 
etc., is trivial compared to the DNA itself, which is the best 
identifier there could ever be.

There are way better biologists than me on this list. Can any of them 
demonstrate that I'm wrong here?
