Basically gives you things that you have the likelihood of developing. "Using insights backed by the latest science, see how your DNA can affect your chances of developing certain health conditions. Your personalized reports break down your genetic data, the science and potential next steps."

I figured, why not. A couple extra bucks. *shrugs*

I don't want my DNA indexed anywhere, without a warrant.

Wow, people want to know that stuff? Id rather not know and still take the precautions to avoid it. Also, stuff like "you're more likely to get cancer" would be a added stress with no upside. Things that can give you cancer change yearly and are impossible to completely avoid, unless you just cut 95% of shit
