Using any genomics is an 'admission' of preexisting condition as a genomic guilt. This $200 is proof you know what diseases you might contract, and this serves as information asymmetry that insurance companies have illegalized.
If I could have this done, say, in Russia or China, and the results destroyed after completed, I'd consider it.
I know that half of my genetic map has already been infiltrated with my mom using 23andme. I felt quite violated when my mom did that. I certainly had no choice. And yet, half of me is sitting in some database, where I have absolutely no say.
And my dad's dead, so no non-degraded DNA there. I guess if my sister ever has the money and want, then more of my map will be known.
- nikolay 8y agoSorry to be so direct, but who cares about your DNA? People are so full of themselves thinking they are something unique and of great value. In fact, everything valuable in us is our brains - experiences and knowledge. Plus, don't worry so much about your mom and her 23andMe - that's not sequencing, it's just a test for a list of snips (SNPs).
