You can delete your shit if you've used it, probably, particularly if you're in California (which has a strong delete your shit law).

And the people who do want to do DNA testing for genealogical purposes are testing at Ancestry or maybe MyHeritage or FTDNA, because they're all set up better for genealogy. 23andMe sucks for that.

If it's not good at genealogical information, what is it good for???? I'm so confused by these things. (Not to say that I'm totally against genetic testing - I did genetic testing a few years ago to see if I have the genes for certain cancers. But these companies just seem shady as hell to me.)
