Maybe a naive question, but Is there a service like 23 and me but that doesn’t collect/keep my genetic information ? @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

    Not to my knowledge. It’s absolutely pathetic and honestly kinda psychotic that you’re not allowed to understand your own genealogy and medical history without giving up pretty much everything about yourself. Forever.

    Because unlike a compromised password, you can’t just hop on the computer and change your genes (yet??).

    Boils down to a legislative failure.

        When I was in like 5th grade we took a class trip to a police station.

        Once we got there the cops said if we were “good” he’d let us do fingerprints at the end. I was excited till I found out we didn’t get to keep the cards, the cops did and they said it was in case we get kidnapped they can find us… When a minute ago it was just a reward for being good.

        So I said I didn’t want to and the cop and teacher got super pushy and it turned into this whole big thing once parents found out every kid from my school for a couple years got tricked into giving cops their fingerprints.

        I was just mad I didn’t get to keep the card, they should’ve just had me do two and kept one.
