If 23 and Me goes bankrupt, they will sell all of the biometric data they’ve collected over decades to the highest bidder. Why can’t the US government step in to purchase the company and establish a public trust?

    Probably works better if you are Caucasian with a long line of ancestors from Europe.

    I’m indigenous in Canada and I find that these tests don’t seem to work too well for minorities or indigenous groups that don’t have a lot of recorded history or a large percentage of individuals of the same ethnic background who take the same tests.

    Mine said indigenous which I already know … it just didn’t specify who what where or region other than North America.
