What kinds of questions are raised by the selling of one individual’s full genome? What is the value of a single human DNA profile? At the end of 2015, Dutch artist Jeroen van Loon offered his entire DNA data – 380 GB of personal DNA data – for sale, online, for a year, on a dedicated website. Anybody could place a bid through http://www.cellout.me/.
