    Default Question for members who took an ethnicity DNA test

    I would also like to take an ethnicity DNA tests because I am really curious about it. However, my concern is the fact that I would be giving my DNA to people I don't know if I am to take the test. Now I have a question for members who took an ethnicity DNA test: Aren't you worried about the privacy of your DNA?

    I've done EVERY single test. I am now an old man. I refuse to live in fear. Most have been since the pandemic and it is sad.

    Are you really an old man?

    Personally I like the fact that discoveries might be made with my DNA, and I really like what I've learned. However, I am starting to worry a bit more about DNA companies getting greedy and raising prices while reducing the quality of their services and reports, and then losing sight of their original mission and goals which I think is starting to happen.
    =(^.^)=

    Also I don't do classifications currently, sorry.
