With likely very dire results, yes I think you should. If your mothers insurance rate goes up, since you got one of these dna tests for Christmas, she should be involved in the decision to publish this data in the first place.
And George W. Bush, a Republican, signed this into law. I remember thinking that strange at the time because I would have thought insurance companies would want to be able to use DNA information and the Republicans being more of a "big business" party would have supported that.
Also, I found out last time this discussion came up on HN that the law prevents it being used for regular insurance but does not apply to life insurance.

What workarounds insurance companies come up with to circumvent the spirit of the law and how well it can be enforced will be interesting.

If there's enough money to be made, I'm sure the Usual People will be persuaded to bend the law until it gives way.
