    Concerns me how this could be used by insurance companies for conditions found through your DNA testing. Eg if you had some certain markers for disease, you get higher premiums.

      They do not do this and say so. So if they did use that it would be a nice lawsuit if you could prove this would happen and an attorney would take such a case.

      The golden state killer was caught because a relative used an online ancestry test and it closely matched DNA left at a crime scene. Obviously these companies collaborate with the government, who knows if they do the same with insurance companies, but it’s good that he was caught. Lots of potential benefits and risks to this new technology.

    I don't personally understand all the madness about being proud of your ancestry, it's not something you have control of. Interesting video nonetheless. Will be interesting to see if anything comes out of them having the ability to sell this data off.

      @@raeanne5793 Can they really though? DNA evidence can be quite misleading at a crime scene, it's not nearly as easy as movies portray it to be. Statistics (regarding DNA and the likelihood of the person actually committing a crime) in the courtroom is a highly debated topic and led to life sentences for numerous wrongly convicted people.
