It's an interesting issue.
If a stranger had asked OPs mom for OPs phone number out of the blue, there are many moms that wouldn't share a PHONE NUMBER without asking the phone number holders permission.
But fewer would ask their relatives if it's ok to stick a decent portion of their DNA into a database.

- prepend 3y agoWhat if OP lives with their mom and so when the stranger asked mom for her number, she also revealed OP’s. Should mom not be allowed to give out her number. She had it first. Or should mom need to clear every use of her data with her kids because it might affect them. Should OP get mom’s permission before emitting genetic material on a lover because that material is half of mom’s dna? I think this is not a path that can be exactly logiced out, so I stick with “do what you want with your data.”

Even stalking LEO ex boyfriends | former husbands mostly left a paper trail if they requested a DNL number.
