Surprise?? Anyone Foolish Enough to Submit DNA to 23andMe, Ancestry.com...

This only proves that murderers and/or rapists have cause for concern with submitting their DNA to companies for research purposes.

What does this prove to people who are not interested in raping or murdering other people (or any other crime that can be proved with DNA evidence)?

Anyone really think the most personal data that could possibly be acquired wouldn't someday be used against you?

That they can be harassed by the police if the DNA is close enough to theirs. The police can contact them and shake their family tree and see who *might* be closer to the age, sex, location, drives a certain make of car, etc.

Evidently there are quite a few people who do.

Have you had your blood drawn in the last 20 years? They gave me my daughters dna results 20 years ago.

Think about what you are saying. They can get your Dan from any cell in your body if they want it

If you do a tad more research you can read the privacy notices of all the d a sites. It is never released

The good they do far outweighs the bad

Next time do a little more research

Interesting idea.

A man raped many children. They caught him

He had an y usual name. So I researched him

His grandfather had been hung for rape

Also found out his two brothers were working with kids in the same situAtion he was in when he raped many kids

What to do. What to do.

DNA or not.... You commit a crime and you WILL pay for it.

The wife of the owner of Google is the CEO of 23andme. They are connected in the data gathering business.

I see those ads and ask myself, "who would be foolish enough to pay for their DNA to be in a database?"

Then I remember all the people on Facebook.

I'm a huge genealogy buff and you wouldn't catch me giving Ancestry my DNA

... and weren't users assured that this would NEVER happen? ...

I do not mind that my DNA could be stored in a data base.

So much else is stored in data bases anyway.

I was surprised by my results and it helps with research in Ancestry .

I expect if I was a criminal or a rapist muslim monster I would not be so happy to have the details there.

The giving and storing the DNA is not the problem .

What is done with the results without the persons consent is .

Though if they are major criminals they should be exempt from any protection any law provides.

What is the problem? They had to go through the courts and get a warrant to access the info, just like they'd do with anything else.

The real problem is the law plants evidence all the time and wants to convict whom they think is guilty. Ergo, they ask for thebdna to match and voila you are holding the vguilty basg. Who can argue with a scientist.......remember duke lacrosse playetrs
