PSA: please DO NOT pay to give your DNA to for-profit companies like 23andMe. They can replicate it and do whatever tests they want with it once you give it over. The time of genetic engineering is coming upon us fast & they do NOT have your interests in mind. Keep it to urself.

Put it this way: your DNA reveals everything about your family. Your family history of alcoholism, cancer, recessive twin genes, high likelihood of addiction or Parkinson's. It is like a book of your family's secrets, going back hundreds of years. It should be kept PRIVATE.

Replying to @dearstardust
Yes! You give them EXCLUSIVE ACCESS to anything that could help them, or the Feds, in finding out whatever they want from it. The worst part is THEY PAY 23andMe to tell them these insignificant insights about them just to say "I'm 14% Spanish" (what the hell does that even mean).

Weighing the risks of what you could be unintentionally subjecting your family to in the future versus your curiosity, it just isn't worth it for me.
