I am
in great fear of all the ads Ancestry.com is placing you get folks to willingly
give up their DNA just to see their ethnic origins. It’s the ultimate privacy
violation yet thousands are flocking to do it like lambs to the slaughter.
I
have to ask the basic but obvious question:
- If you won’t willy nilly give out your Social Security Number or your credit card number, then why would you give someone a sample of your DNA - the most personal, private part of yourself?
What real guarantee of privacy do you have? Everything gets hacked, even the Pentagon!
Handing over your DNA for no good cause makes it easier for you to be found by authorities and insurance companies are
always looking for a reason to exclude the insured from getting their claims paid. As science
marches on, you know they will find a way to charge extra if your DNA has a
gene for some disease. Or not cover you at all because of a congenital condition.
Why just hand it
over for what is a cosmetic purpose? After all, who really cares if you’re Irish
or Italian or something else? When all is said and done, you are you. If you aren’t sure who you are, you need
psychotherapy or a life coach, not a DNA test.
More
importantly, Ancestry.com LLC was started by the Mormons as a recruiting tool regardless of what the PR says. If
you are not familiar with their brand of religion and especially if you are not
religious at all, their goal is to get everyone inducted into Mormonism in the
afterlife - whether you want to be or not. They get your name, family tree, and now your DNA.
I
say “NO”. Be afraid. Do not do it.
