Amazing how many sheeple willingly offered up their family secrets.

Gladly. If anyone in my family has a serial killer “secret”, I am happy to shine the light.

I recognize the reason why people are skeptical to get DNA tests. Even though I used a fake name and prepaid credit card it is clear through 23andme it is pretty easy to link up who you are if any close relatives have used the service

HOWEVER, genetic tests through 23andme and then a whole genome test on all my genes has been KEY in discovering a host of issues that I have that no doctor had figured out on their own.

So it is a balance that each person has to consider. Privacy versus medical issues.

And I will adamantly say that if anyone has had issues with drugs they should ask their Doctor about P450 issues. The cheapest way to figure this out is getting a test from a place like Nebula and then uploading DNA to Genetic Genie. It will pull up many things you may need to know....especially if you have cancer.

23andme has helped me try to figure out where some of my rare issues came from by matching a section on my chromosome that is problematic. Certain conditions and drugs may react differently depending on where that defect came from..such as Asian versus Northern European. You may not release that your defect came from Asian ancestors because you had no idea you had any.
