Has Anyone Seen The Documentary Three Identical Strangers?

ekuw- I don't think it's cynicism at all on your part. I'm not cynical by nature but this story made me think about what goes on that we don't know about. And it wasn't all that long ago really. The experiment part of the story made me very angry.

Oh I saw this one. so very sad. Doctors and or Scientists have been doing things like this since WWII or before. still are for that matter. even trying to get the best Soldiers with drugs or what ever they can. How this still goes on is beyond me!

This is the same reason, I don't think I would give my DNA to find out my ancestry. We really don't know that the companies collecting all our DNA might do with it in the future. Some people call this paranoid, but no one else on the planet has your DNA but you...and you give it away? I'm just not comfortable with that.

ekuw- While I don't agree with your last post, I certainly understand your view. What I like about having a DNA data base is that it has exonerated people who had been convicted of horrible crimes. Conversely, they have caught people who did commit the crimes. But that's just one angle. I like that they are using it for this purpose.
There is also something to be said for all the research on diseases with the use of DNA. So it's kind of a mixed bag I guess.
I haven't done the ancestry stuff because I'm just not that interested. Maybe someday that will change.
I don't think it's being paranoid to hold your view!
