My grandma eventually did it too but was the most disapproving at first lolol she told me "is that a good idea, what if you see something on your results you don't like, you won't be able to unsee it."

    They dont give him much credibility, but I have not insisted on taking it. I think I could convince them but they think it is a waste of money

    Mine reacted like this too when I suggested it to them. The main reason apparently was that they didn't want their genetic information stored in a company overseas, which is true. Couldn't find anything to beat that statement
