EXACTLY why I never went through with my ancestry DNA test. Especially after my cousin told me all the DNA goes into a database to see who you might be related to who’s also in the database. That was just a little too much Philip k. Dickish for me.
“EXACTLY why I never went through with my ancestry DNA test.”
It doesn’t matter if your DNA is in the database or not; they can still track you down. That’s how they got the 30-year serial killer in California a few months ago. He had never submitted any DNA to 23 And Me.
A distant relative of his had submitted his, though, and it was a good match to the unknown killer’s DNA. That put the cops on the track of THAT guy’s relatives which led them to the killer’s daughter. She helped them trap her father.
I’m more worried about DNA sitting in some lab that could be used by employees to frame someone.
