I'm one. Full blooded. That makes me the King of Gondwana Land. That and a $10.00 dollar bill entitles me to get a "free" coffee at Starbucks. Eat your heart out.

I’m probably related to half of Swiss’s population?

If you were ever in need of an organ or bone marrow transplant, the FIRST place to look for a suitable donor match, is a blood relative. So you're just eliminating half of your blood relatives, because you reject your father. I mean it's your choice, your life.

But I wouldn't be so quick to disregard the option, if I was ever in a situation where disregarding it meant a slow, painful, and preventable death.

As for me, I know my immediate ancestry, I can personally trace it back five generations. The oldest generation was dead before my parents ever even met each other, the next two-oldest are all dead now. My dad's siblings are all dead, but I believe he has first cousins still living. My mom's siblings are all still living, and she has first cousins still alive. If I ever needed a donor match, I'd be able to name names and reach out for assistance from either side of the family.

Never needed any DNA testing though. We (our family line, not me personally because it's not that interesting to me) can trace our heritage to the tribe of Judah, as my family on both sides are ancestral Jews (meaning, none of them converted, or intermarried with non-Jews before my parent's generation was born, and both my parents were ancestral Jews who married each other).

I agree medical problems testing. But, I won’t give up my DNA to free data banks so they can sell information on me sucking me in thinking I’m someone special. My choice, others can do what they want.

Yes, like that local guy recently urinating on food in Sam's Club. He qualifies.

I see many would not want their DNA on record. Can someone explain how others knowing it would be detrimental, or is it just a privacy thing?
Can it be used by the bad guys?
I can't see the pitfalls of having the test, not that I have any interest in my finding out my DNA at all.
