What happens to your data if 23andMe collapses?

If both your parents did a DNA test with the same company, and you are their child and not the result of a liaison with the milkman, you are 100% screwed.
If you are the product of a liaison with the milkman and the milkman didn't do a DNA test with the same company, you're 50% screwed.
If you were adopted, then there will be no impact from the DNA test, but if your parents didn't tell you, they're 100% screwed. (Assuming that your birth parents didn't have a DNA test.)
In other words, there's a non-zero chance that you're screwed.

It isn't yours, if you use them you signed it all over to them. They patented your DNA.
They patented your DNA.
You can't patent DNA... They can sell it though, with a simple TOS update (if they even need to).

Or if you're a minority who could be framed for a crime.

That is a great film that I should watch again .... and so should everyone
Absolutely agree. This is one of my favorites.

One of my all time favorites.

That’s not true in the slightest.

For those too lazy to click through:
However, on June 13, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in the Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc, that human genes cannot be patented because DNA is a “product of nature.” All gene patents were invalidated with this ruling. However, the ruling did not prohibit the patenting of DNA that is manipulated (i.e., no longer a product of nature) or processes for identifying DNA sequences.

Shit, they're gonna want my DNA. I'm 1/8th Cherokee and I'm descended from Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Christopher Columbus, Abraham Lincoln, every signatory of the magna carta, Jesus, and the Mayflower. The actual ship. Don't ask.

That's the optimistic timeline, we still have to actually get there first.
I am sure you can come with what a pessimistic timeline would look like.

After the Ashkenazi data leak, I deleted my data with them. Never sharing that again.
My mom is Jewish and I'd been considering doing one of those DNA tests until that data leak happened, I was glad I hadn't done it.

OK if nobody's going to bother reading beyond that I give up. Be ignorant.

Maybe you can cite the exact statement we’re all missing. You can’t because the trouble you’re running into is that we did read it, and it seems perhaps you did not, but you can’t try. Summary: can’t patent unmanipulated genes. Can patent manipulated genes and sequencing processes.
