Next Gen Sequencing already is extremely challenging for microorganisms in environmental samples but at least these are highly dissimilar compared to humans.

Without such accuracy, I think it would be better to not have the information at all. It would just turn into yet another Rorschach test for everyone to interpret as they like.

The fact that some people might misinterpret that information and draw erroneous conclusions is not a problem with having the information, but is a problem with the person who misinterpreted that information.
