>if you want to get the kit and test your DNA out of fun, at least make sure your identity is not obvious. DNA can be used to identify the person it came from!!! If you send off your DNA with a different name, there are many ways that they can use to determine that a different name was used. Traits estimated by the DNA could, at least in theory, be used to figure out who you might be. And if your relative is already in the system, your identity may be trivial to uncover.
