Why would your example be unreasonable? Sounds like good police work.

Just that it is very unlikely that you could infer the clinical manifestation of a heart condition just from DNA alone...




No, I would not consider it unreasonable but a lot of people probably would. And I don't know enough about inferring future health conditions from DNA alone, but I meant it as an example for a future possibility. If anyone does know, exactly, what you can infer from DNA alone and how that would be extremely helpful.
