re: Is 23 and me one of the best government ideas yet?

Actually if you’re over 40 you’re probably over 75% finnish

Coupled with retina and fingerprint device home screen "passcodes", sure.

The first "people" came from Africa - From a dusty little valley in Ethiopia, where the dirt scrapers uncovered that little 3 foot tall woman who was born 2 years after it was possible to be born (before that, all humans came as kits from the Sears Catalog). There are links in everyone's DNA that tie all of us to that little short lady, so the absolute, scientifically proven truth is that We are not all Berliners (as Kennedy said). We are all Africans.

Some of us just left Africa on the first bus and some lingered until later.

Yeah they have used services like 23 and me to catch a couple old serial killers.

Not quite. His relative uploaded their dna profile to gedmatch.com which is designed to make the dna profile available to anyone (goal is to find new family members). 23 and me doesn’t do that

It’s crazy to think people are just voluntarily turning over the information to them.

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

I did the DNA thing for my dog. Found out it was 2% cat. Pretty sweet.

Health information is beyond valuable. Most payors are going more towards the health information business.

I found out I'm half Welsh, half Hungarian.

That makes me Well-Hung.
