If so, congrats on giving your DNA to Google.

Jurrasic Park but like, with humans instead of dinosaurs. Only logical answer.

Nah, even all the DNA giving-to-whoever stuff aside, I highly doubt my family tree is all that interesting.

Knowing my luck they'd only come up with one or two ancestors and it'd be a total waste of time/money/DNA

Fuck no. The news about them selling data to insurance agencies about family histories of heart disease like a decade ago should have been the end of the whole thing.

Nah, I feel weird about having my genetic code on file somewhere and then getting contacted by random relatives I don't know about it >_> It ain't for me lol

use my special genes to make cures for diseases? please! do that!

ive seen some people say "DA FBI WILL MAKE THEM GIVE IT TO THEM AND THEY'LL FIND OUT YOU MURDERED SOMEONE"

I agree fully.
I'm not worth cloning.
If my DNA can help someone, fucking do it.
I don't commit crimes. (And if any relative of mine does, fuck em. Get caught ya dumbass)

The fuck else could they do with it?

yeah exactly. and i mean i guess you could say "if you're using my data, then i should be compensated"

which.. i dunno. ok? should your parents be compensated too cuz they gave you the genes, etc? it gets messy.

I did Ancestry. And honestly, having my DNA on file anywhere does not bother me in the slightest. Like the others said, what could they possibly do with it? I do understand others wanting their privacy, but this particular thing is not something that bothers me. I'd much rather know my heritage. Especially since I don't have much family history known to me.

This is a really stupid conspiracy theory. There is nothing a company can do with your DNA to make this anything more than a matter of principal, and the benefits (knowing your genetic history, traits, etc.) honestly outweigh that principal.

It sounds like people who keep all their money under their mattress or whatever because they don't trust banks.

Just about everyone's DNA is collected at birth already. I'm not even concerned about that, I just never did it because it's not something that really interests me. I already know the important stuff about my family lineage
