On a more serious note: This is a good example of why I will never submit to testing by 23andMe or its ilk -- when combined with the storage of genealogy information about one's family in the, they represent a profound loss of privacy and anonymity.


I worked for city, county and state governments for well over 30 years. There is ALWAYS someone in a position of power who knows that they're right, even (especially?) when they're not.


It's just a matter of time before some over aggressive government minion will access stored DNA and plant same to frame help convict someone who should NOT have been convicted. Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely. :oldfogey:
