Ancestry dot com genome comparison requests facilitated with a swab sample?
Does ancestry.com also request blood-iron samples? Are the next-of-kin of members required to report their deaths to ancestry.com? Does ancestry.com include a disclaimer in their "General Terms and Conditions of Business," explaining that members can expect, at any time, a visit to their door of "Men in Black" who will then perform a thorough cavity search?
I apologize for my facetiousness, but my objection stands: Until it is explained (and this should have been done in the article's first paragraph) where and under what circumstances the data came from, this article cannot be taken seriously.
A million voluntary DNA samples - plus the corresponding data on mortality, health history, and iron content... I'm not buying it!
