I think that's the point Sky was making. Just the fact that it does exist, eventually the corporations will use their influence and find a way to get at those samples. The thought of that scares me as well.
I do not see it happing IMO. It would be overstepping the bounds of privacy. Sure it does exist as Skybird points out. I have not experienced any corporation looking to collect DNA. This would be called predetermination based on DNA. Think about it, already insurance companies ask if there is any family history of heart problems, high blood pressure, cancer, etc. It makes you feel like a candidate to get these health problems because a family member (mom,dad) had these issue. I recall filling out a form for the University of Salisbury the first semester I attended. That asked if there were any suicides in my family. I answered yes. My great uncle killed himself by putting his pants belt around a bed post and his neck. He pulled it tight until death. Next thing I know I'm being called in to have a chit-chat with a student counselor. He asked me how I was...mentally
