    Default Should I be afraid of getting my DNA test?

    This is a serious question.
    I heard some conspiracy theories, that if I do a DNA test, my organs might be sold by someone and I'm scared.
    I admit, I'm sorta curious about my background (well, there I go, I'm channelling my inner anthrotard).

    I think you should focus on being excited about what you may learn from the test .
    =(^.^)=

    Also I don't do classifications currently, sorry.

    You should rather worry about your IQ level.

    Well, you don't need to be afraid about stealing organs etc, many members can approve it's save(I don't I haven't done it, probably results would be boring). It also isn't very expensive but it's not that cheap either sometimes it's worth to wait for sales(before Christmas for example). In short, if you suppose there can be something interesting in your results then go get one. I'm not the best person to give advices in this field

    They haven't stolen mine yet, so you're probably safe if you decide to take the test

    Don't worry, they usually take the non-essential ones.

    Yes, they do take organs, but these cases only happen a minority of times, like maybe 20-25% max.

    If you are considering committing a crime, I do not advise you to take a dna test.
