Who owns your DNA? was recorded at the 2019 World Science Festival and streamed on the ABC Science Friction website.
Dr Aideen McInerney-Leo, Genetic Councillor at the University of Queensland Dermatology Research Centre, was one of three panelists in this discussion about who owns your DNA.
The podcast discusses the fine line between profiling and privacy.
Dr McInerey-Leo's message is simple: "Think before you spit."
