As I sit here, having my cup of non-silly expensive, non-name chain, non-fancy coffee, I ran across these.....

If my previous post, crossed any line set by the Forum Rules, please remove it. Upon reviewing it, I can see where some may consider it, wrong for XMTS.

Ancestry DNA sent an email that says "We've updated our Privacy Statement." It goes on to say that my privacy is their top priority. I suspect they are concerned about losing some business and are trying to do damage control.

I wonder what the U.S. Government's Privacy Statement will be like?

The huge debate of who owns the rights to the DNA? I feel it should be the individual who was born with the DNA and many of these companies act as though they own the rights to the DNA of the people who used their services. This is part of why I stress to people to research companies before they decide if they will do the DNA testing.

Sad reality is, somewhere deep in the 'sign here to accept terms' statement, everything is outlined. Problem is, one needs a bank of attorneys to interpret everything into plainspeak.

That also assumes that their database will never be hacked.

interesting points
At first I thought it might be interesting to "find out" where my physical and mental traits came from ......Just using family history I was stopped at the point my paternal grand father was adopted at two years old, This was in the 1880's and my father and his brothers and sisters had no interest in it at all......now they are all gone so no more family stories
I have still been thinking about doing it but then I think about how a government in Europe, in the 1930's used this kind of information to carry out a hideous policy...............If we don't learn from history, history will often repeat itself ......I think I won't bother

Another news article
Here's another article on the topic as perception evolves:

...and another. The message is (finally?) getting out. Give away your most very personal identifier yet, to anyone, commercial or otherwise, and you may have problems, not just for yourself either. Please let me be clear though:

Please let me be clear though: I'm not saying that you will have problems or that you've done anything wrong; I'm saying that it may open a lot of cans of unsavoury worms.
