RE: Why Does Google Want Your DNA?
Great idea to share this important information. You always deliver with a special quality other content providers lack, it's informative and gentle and provides the listener with enough facts to help them understand in just the right amount of time. They can take my DNA when I'm dead...till then I'd never just give it away, let alone, pay someone to take it from me. They're playing on this epidemic of self-absorption and ego we're infected with as a society today...taking advantage of our constant need to focus on ourselves. The commercials get me every time, someone saying how much they learned about their own life through finding out who was genetically connected to their existence, when who they are today actually has very little to do with their ancestors, but is more about their own personal experiences and life lessons.
I would even worry about them having my DNA when I’m dead - considering I have a daughter! Hopefully they don’t already have it...The good news is that I’ll continue to live for today and only let my “worries” serve me, as caution and as a way I can educate my loved ones.
I definitely agree with the reasons you’ve stated as to why those people are paying to have their DNA analyzed (at their own peril). It’s doubtful they realize what they’ve gotten themselves into but then again, they probably wouldn’t care if they knew.
Have a great day!
