    Boomers that I've known were so hooked on their 23andMe fad that I got pressured many, many times to join in.

    I'm glad I never did. Fuck 'em.

      Doesn't matter. Once relatives send in DNA they can make conclusions about your hereditary diseases. If enough relatives send data, they can recreate your own DNA. DNA is just a scaled superposition of your relative's DNA. They don't need your personal DNA strands.
