I don’t like it but it was genius on their part. Advertising it as finding out your ancestry and health traits only to log everyone’s dna and keep a data base for the US population. It’s crazy to think people are just voluntarily turning over the information to them. Even though I don’t plan on committing a crime there is something weird to me about willingly giving them the info. Am I the only one who thinks it’s strange?

it's a govt thing?

Yrs ago I heard one of those original heritage sites was run by the mormon church, to collect the largest database of lineage, so I never fell for this dna craze. I even told my ex dont even think about it as a gift. She was kind of pissed. Ha

If you’ve ever masturbated in prison they already have your dna anyway.

You're right.

In fact, if you read their legal disclosure they can sell your genetic print to anyone they want....morons

I have never done this but hell if the government wants this info on me it wouldn't be hard. I did serve in the Army so I am sure they have anything they would want already archived somewhere.

Been saying this ever since I saw it come out. It’s amazing to me how many Idiots submit their DNA to this kind of crap. Including my moronic mother in law.

Someone who runs your DNA will know more about you than you know about yourself.

Even better is that people are paying to turn over their dna.

they also now have a full data bank of everyones finger print on file thanks to finger print phone locks.

you dont actually believe they are not recording all that on NSA servers do you, freely volunteering your private info is bad enough but now people are glad give finger print scans as well
