these days to be connected we take a chance by exposing ourselves to gain more we volunteer our preferences we
00:00:12
list our values and even declare our worth in the physical world walls give us privacy but in the digital
00:00:25
world we often lose control of what's ours I certainly didn't want to submit my DNA
00:00:36
for a murder case Michael Us's experience with DNA stems from an act that occurred years
00:00:44
ago it was his father who gave a sample part of a genealogy study with his church that sample became part of a
00:00:54
public database at the time that police were able to access I think this case is
00:00:58
a warning our search for connections could cost us more than we know it's a warning
00:01:04
about both the positive potential of DNA and the way in which that potential might lead us to take actions that
00:01:10

00:01:15
society of all of the information about us out there what could possibly be used
00:01:20
against us and will we ever be able to take back [Music] control
