While I think the issue of privacy is valid, I personally do not think that Google is doing it as an undercover with the CIA.

Also, I was not aware of Google doing "genetic research". Where did the video makers get that info? In addition, in the end, when the video was implying that because Google is (presumably) conducting research in molecular biology and genetics, they would automatically have access to their users genetic data.

The whole genetics research and DNA was kind of an indication to me that this video may just be for hype and to initiate some conspiracy theories about Google.

Who made this video anyway? Was their genuine goal to really alert people to watch out for their privacy... or did they have an ulterior motive?
