I'm pretty sure it's the data they got from the extracted saliva that is stored... not your actual spit.

It's fun to have an overactive imagination though.

That it is for sure.

My youngest daughter is into dredging up family history. We get at least one call a week from her about such n such did something. I usually ignore any family history. She was very pesky asking for my DNA swab. I finally relented, Sent my sample, turned out to be unusable. What no history of royalty ties? I could do it again if I would like. I refused to try again much to my daughter's dismay. I tried to explain my misgivings to her. I just refused & don't bother me again. It's your thing.

I don't want somebody to have access to my history. What's happened, happened. Leave me to my beliefs. I care less about my ancestor's quirks & history as anyone.

The thing I worry about 23&Me going bust is not what my DNA says about me, now; but what my DNA will mean to others in the future.

This. By summiting DNA those who are a direct bloodline now have family/their dna is a data base. A relative you never saw in life could be affected or visa versa.

I would never consent to the use of my medical record for any research by a "for profit" organization, without being properly compensated.

Exactly the same with me.
