What's funny to me about these DNA testing companies, isn't the obvious data collection ploy, but the customers who feel compelled to buy the service. So the fuck what you're 13% Cherokee and 27% Dutch and 5% Eastern African? Try developing a personality or interests.
originally it was sold as a way to quickly detect genetic diseases before they became a problem.
