Points for Cons

Genetic descrimination-
if the informationges into the wrong hands, it could cause genetic descrinimation. Jobs, insurance companies, etc.. can use this information to decide weather they want to give a person with a certain disease or genetic trait a job or life insurance, thus creating an underclass.
Innacurate information-
medical nformation that will show up on the report may be inacurate because it will come from the individual's medical record which may not be correct because people sometimes lie about them.
Insignificant results-
the tests willshow information that we already know or thet simpler tests can prove and so the tests might prove to be useless.
Individually useless-
the data provided by th tests will go into a collection of a broad perspection of society and will not be very usefull to the individual.
morrally questionable-
the information might also be morraly questionable and give information the individuals do not want society to know
