A couple of years ago I had some extra money over the summer and still no kids, so I did the DNA testing. Mostly because I was watching a lot of documentaries on ancient humans where they had that included. I now realize that was the perfect product placement, setup in a scientific documentary. As a disclaimer I know some people need these tests to find relatives and to research their family history. But the accuracy is not that solid and I see videos of people taking their results too serious. So why would you send at minimum 100$ and a DNA sample to strangers who can to whatever there want with your DNA? It’s like a pyramid game, you pay the initial and if you want more results you have to pay even more. My answer to why I did the test is that I thought of it as a spontaneous shopping thing back then. I even did a tutorial video on the test, which people seem to have appreciated and for that I am glad. But the test in itself in retrospect means nothing after the first sensation of getting quote unquote results. My results were interesting but expected in a sense and here they are. I know who and what I am and I’m proud of that - we make our life ourselves and for ourselves. I also know where I feel at home and what I love. But for those money people waste on this is surely made possible by the insecurities people have over who they are - does that result we get back change anything? It’s a consumer thing and someone took our minimum 100 dollars and DNA - with which they can do and experiment as they please. Does it matter really where your ancestry is from? As long as you’re content, happy and feel glorious about life and its possibilities? Now, some thoughts on the companies and Family Tree DNA, which was the one I used. First of all, this is not against people of faith or ethnicity. But these companies began as ideas to map out jewish ancestry of various sorts. Bennett Greenspan, in the case of Family Tree DNA, which is the company I did my test with is one of them. So the funding of course gets bigger if you eventually involve other people too. Win-win for everybody, but the main objective is to map out various lineages of what they consider jewish people. To gain jewish citizenship in Israel you must prove your genetics. There are many factors involved in this. My distrust of the companies has nothing to do because the main people happen to be jews, but because privacy is bought-and-sold these days. Both of us can read their policy but I don't trust it, it can change and so on. Of course, my DNA isn't precious, one can get it anywhere, it's not about being paranoid. But laying things out in a different light compared to other DNA testing videos.
