      It isn't yours, if you use them you signed it all over to them. They patented your DNA.

            The monsters.

            Well, that originally autocorrected to "mobsters," but I suppose that'd work in a certain context, too.

              Many people got lured into this mistake without properly understanding the risk.

              Now we know the risk.

              Deny the parasite all data possible going forward.

                  I’m hoping in 500 years, my DNA sequence is found on a perfectly preserved micro SD card and my clone gets to meet President Camacho and take on Beef Supreme and the Dildozer on Monday Night Rehabilitation.

                    After the Ashkenazi data leak, I deleted my data with them. Never sharing that again.

                      There's a non-zero % chance that a nazi with ties to the government and unlimited money might be interested in this data... 👀

                        Yeah, I did mine like 15 years ago around when they first started accepting international orders (At the time they didn't even have labs in the UK and they paid to TNT overnight ship my spit to America)

                            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.

                                You should be fine, unless you're planning on a life of crime.

                                  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.

                                    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.

                                          You should be fine to not have a phone PIN, unless you're planning on a life of crime.
