        I would love to be able to show genetic proof to my racist family members that my mother's father was biracial. BOOM! #ThatCatIsOutOfTheBagNOW!

        I agree. There is no way I’m sending my DNA to be part of anyone’s database.

        They are. Each time a person sends, it adds to the data and they use that to interpret Other people. We did this however w project genome

        Right! I would love to have this done but no way am I giving my DNA to unknowns and not knowing what they will do with it now or in the future. It is bad enough they track you online & on your phone.

        You can opt out of research. There is no chain of custody. My top matches are Anonymous. Chuck is just trying to regulate DNA. Now that is a scary thought. I volunteered my DNA for scientific research but you can choose not to.

        Someone is keeping that data. If it is in a computer somewhere it will be there forever and it will be hacked & stolen like everything else.

        Really wish you would research before you try and get government involved in DNA. There is no chain of custody therefore no concern. Unless an official watches you spit no one knows if the sample matches the person. Keep Chucky and the government out of DNA!

        The # data breach is hospitals. They get everything from your health records. Medical coders have access remotely to all Hosp they contract with. Still feel safe?

        I was JUST talking to my son about this and my hesitancy to get the test and have my DNA in who knows what database- forever!
