    I refuse to do it because I’m a twin. We both agree that it’s shitty if one of us does it because then the other is forced into it basically, being identical.

    Also our dad was a piece of cheating shit so we don’t ever want to know about that possibility.

      I mean obviously it would just discover that your mom was also a cheater?

      Well I mean beyond the possibility of half siblings.

      I think of myself as someone who always wants to know, I want to know the truth, I don’t like not knowing things. Plus, it could help finding out about genetic conditions and things to be on the lookout for, which can definitely be valuable.

      I’d still never do one of these tests because of the privacy concerns and because I don’t trust companies with something like this, especially since I have seen so many times where companies have a lax attitude or lax policies or both about security.

        Yeah companies don’t care. McDonald’s sold my fingerprint data. I used it to clock in and out for work. I got like a 50 dollar settlement or something so that was nice <3 ty Ronald

      That would indicate your mom cheated as well? Not sure exactly what your dad cheating has to do with your DNA. Wouldn’t it be better to find out he wasn’t your dad if he was so shitty?

        We do not want to find my father’s illegitimate children. He was our father, as our mother never cheated.

          That you know of, or care to know of. To be fair that’s a better reason to not do it. You know your dad is a piece of shit apparently, your mom you have a good image of, and no benefit to the image being tarnished after it matters.

            But what if they’re totally cool people who own a bar in Tahoe or something? You’d be missing out on the fun.

              Yeah, but what if they’re right wing weirdos obsessed with genealogy and they reach out to you first because they want to save you or something?

          How does that work? The lab puts you in contact with people they know share your DNA?
