I was mildly curious and thought maybe I should try it, but the more I thought if I really trust this company. I've seen how companies treat their customers' data and imagined that being my genetic data, and it just didn't seem like a good idea.

Then there is the point of what if I found I have some genetic disease and there is not much I can do about it. Not sure living with that knowledge would be better.



It's upsides if something treatable is discovered early, otherwise it is mostly downsides and not just for yourself. Assuming you can trust their analysis in the first place.

What I really don't like about these companies is that they are never transparent, you only find out after the fact what you bought into.
