There is no way to know what a buyer will want to do with the reams of genetic information it has collected. Customers, meanwhile, still have no way to change their underlying genetic data.
As curious as I was about my own ancestry, this is exactly why I never did it myself. Not that it matters, though. If any of your close relatives do it they’ll have a near match for you as well.
I did it out of curiosity as well, not on 23andme though. Since I wanted to finish my grandfather’s history tree after his passing. He told me a lot about missing family ties because of two world wars Etc… the DNA data helped a lot.

Same! My gf begged me to do it. She made me feel like an asshole for not doing it. Called me crazy to think anything would happen. Well here we are!
I had a girlfriend circa 2010 that was almost the same, but about joining Facebook.
So did you end up dropping her out of your top 5 on MySpace over it?
