Send your DNA off to strangers

[steve-o]

Has anybody seen this site-ancestory.com? Send for your free DNA kit today.. (run by the NSA -- maybe .. ) ..

If you have nothing to hide, what difference does it make?

[steve-o]

It may be just me but I wouldn't send my DNA off to anyone .

If you have nothing to hide, what difference does it make?

maybe you have something to hide in the future

or maybe someone thinks that you have something to hide

or maybe some freak system error unleashes all the world's top agents at you

or they someone clones you and they they take your place in your life and you get sold for spares (although it would make more sense to sell the clone for spares...)

What is this desperation that so many have with being a part of something. It's much like this culture of celebrity. Morons who can't think their way out of a latrine without an exit sign are allowed to set the agenda. I think it would be a kick to order these kits and start swabbing some farm animals.

Hah! .. send them some goat DNA .. rofl

I think this would result in matches to many of my fellow South Carolinians . . .

Not that I feel this way, but do you think that's fair to the goats?

That's nothin. How bout we ship some to half a dozen Washington DC restaurants. And I'm not talking about the goats...or the S. Carolinians.

"Everybody wants to rule the world" Any sort of Data is getting dangerous, and I think getting bombarded by targeted web adverts makes more Morons. I often run web searches on rented computers or other people's computers so I can get unbiased data. Googull can usually identify me in three-four-five searches, even when on a brand new IP number.

I'd love to know some of my "missing" extended family, but I DO NOT think this is the way to find them.

What is scary is how the cost of DNA testing has come down.
