First, I have not submitted my DNA and haven't researched it, but Chasing Hawk's warning with links are valid.
For the skeptics: read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lack by Rebecca Skloot. It was on the NYTimes Bestseller List. It is not fiction or an easy read in places, but extremely well researched. It has to do with a lady signing forms to get medical treatment. The result was that her cells were used to create breakthroughs in diseases. No one else's cells worked. They named the cells after her: He La. So big deal, neither she nor the family got any remuneration. None. Her cells led to cancer research breakthroughs, polio vaccine, treatments for AIDS and more. Google her. Then think about someone owning your DNA before submitting it to them and letting them "own" it. Not everything is about money, but if you read the story, it puts it all into a different perspective.
Tartan-sorry missed your comment before posting.
