What sucks about these DNA tests is that if a relative does it then part of your DNA is captured as well. If a full blooded sibling takes the test then they have 100% of your DNA. Even though I never did one my DNA is known to these gene demons.

:snoop:

thats the reason why I convinced my immediate family members not to take that test. folks don't realize they selling out their entire family tree with those tests and it only takes one person in the family to do so.

Yeah, I wish that was an option for me but my siblings don't gaf about learning anything about the risks of giving your DNA away.

What do y’all think they’re doing with the DNA?


Me personally, I feel like the whole thing is a cover for something much larger. When I found out the founder married one of the founders of google I was really spooked.

Damn y’all want my dna and my porn history?

I know this isn't a satisfying answer but just about anything. Stalin tried to create an army of human/ape hybrids.


You don't think DARPA has their arms up to their elbows in this shyt? Imagine having access to near limitless samples of human DNA. Now imagine what you could do with that and CRISPR the gene splicing tech that dropped within the past 10 years. Throw some AI in there to speed the process up and before you know it, it's Gattaca time...

Unless you grew up off the grid, never went to a doctor etc., the gubmint has plenty of info on you. I get people being afraid of DNA tests but...it's like guns. Having your 2A rights won't protect you from the gubmint. We saw what happened with Israel and those pagers. If an entity wants to get you....they have plenty of ways to do it.

Imagine if some evil person uses that DNA info to construct more gene resistant viruses.

But that shyt so much out my control I don’t even worry about it. Like the Apple Face ID thing. I’m pretty sure my face and thumbprint is already out there and even if I didn’t give it to a third party, hackers could get it with the quickness

This.

There are billions of people on the planet. It's crazy how someone in the middle of bum fukk nowhere that displays zero exceptionalism thinks that their DNA is so valuable that it's being sold. It's spit. It's not even blood.

I don't see how this is so bad, outside of the market manipulation going on. They're pivoting towards pharmaceutical research. Most pharmaceutical companies are privately owned, for obvious reasons. I expect a 23andme to be purchased by a private equity firm like Blackstone bought Ancestry, within the next decade. Or maybe a tech company.... I know Google is getting into Healthcare research with the help of AI. They be buying our data.

This will test genetic privacy laws and lead to creation of further protections, which we sorely need.
