    Sorry man but control over your own image, voice etc is not dumb, why should giant corporations be allowed to replicate and use it to make money without your consent. The fact that it can be so easily automated now just makes it worse. I’m not talking about copyright though just control and privacy. With regards to DNA I’m saying the exact opposite and there we probably agree, companies should absolutely not be able to patent or copyright genes. They shouldn’t be able to use them at all without explicit consent.

      Because it wasn’t yours to begin with

      Biometrics belong more to humanity than any individual person

      Your argument would make it so even facial recognition would be illegal, because they scan and use your facial info without consent

      Same with drivers license databases

      You can’t say “this particular use of this existing practice bothers me, everyone else needs to change now so I feel better”

      Rules on these things need to be consistent, and if they shouldn’t be allowed to use unique information that you consider yours without your consent you’ve just eliminated advertising, security checkpoints, drivers license pictures, filming cops, and a million other things both good and bad that all rely on using your likeness without your consent.

        On that we completely disagree, I would argue they are some of the only things that are intrinsically yours.
