I would argue that one should do it. It's a great path to understanding a little about genotyping, SNPs, etc. The new information is pretty good (the curation team there is particularly strong). The controversies are good ones and a great point of discussion, but if you are genuinely curious about human genetics, 23andme is a great start, plus the user experience is pretty darn good. Edit (adding some info).
