California bans self-knowledge

In an astonishing move, the state of California has denied individuals' access to their own genetic information.  Under the ruse of protecting consumers, the California government claims that "[genetic] tests have not been validated [by the government] for accuracy or for clinical utility".

Such big brother tactics are an attempt to exclude individuals from understanding our own genetic differences.  If everyone is morally equal, the counter-culture state seems to be saying, why do you need to know your genetic differences?  It's too divisive.  Just let the government worry about it.

Of course, we each have 20,000 genes, and each gene comes in a variety of flavors that make us unique.  How is the government planning to regulate claims on every gene variant?  Why not democratize the process, and allow anyone to come forward with ideas, instead of crudely attempting to suppress it?
