Oh man, more than you think. I worked in healthcare and I remember talking to a nurse practitioner that did the home DNA test.
I said I didn't feel comfortable giving my DNA to a random company because I didn't know how it would be used. For example, they are using it in criminal activity tracing. That could go so wrong.
The np's reaction resembled a dog that hears an unfamiliar noice.
I've tried so many times on that front... "see that plane over there leaving a contrails that dissipates after a couple seconds? How come that other plane over there has a super long trail behind it that takes all day to dissipate?"
People just don't want to hear it. It's incredible though, how often they spray the whole sky full of that shit.
Lol
I feel similarly about newborn cord blood donation.
Technically its put away for that childs needs later but yes creepy and easily abused.
There is banking for your kid but also donation, to be used for research and treatments for others. That is spooky.
Yes, agreed about what will they really do with it? What if the state pays them for a little sample before they process and save the cord blood. It’s also seems like freezing your body so that when the technology can save your life, they will defrost you and save your life. Scam.
The criminal tracing thing - they’ve already caught criminals who never did a DNA test. A couple relatives had taken a test, some crime scene DNA was similar, they contact the relatives and interpolate who it was and bang! Got the guy.
At this point, they have so much DNA data I bet they can tell what everyone’s background is, whether you’ve taken the test or not. I guess if you don’t know your actual parents - adopted, bastard children etc, you might have some level of genetic anonymity.
Golden State Killer was caught by genealogy DNA. I don’t what company. If it helped take him off the streets I say it’s a win. I’m not saying I agree with using it for evil towards good people.
