Those who request a DNA test should have control of how those results are maintained and who has access to that data. It should be treated in the same way we handle medical records (HIPPA). Ethical standards should be implemented and failure to adhere to those standards ought to expose violators to civil penalties. If insurance companies were able to access to DNA data without permission of the donor, then we would have a serious problem. I expect insurance companies to offer deep discounts to people who volunteer to give them their DNA data. I would never take such an offer, but many will line up around the block to get the discount.
I looked around several years ago to see if any of the services offered anonymous test results. None of them did.
That is very telling. You’re paying them good money, but they can’t just offer the results to you. They require your personal info. All the gemology stuff is just a hyped up lure. It may be somewhat accurate, but it’s definitely not the real reason behind it all
