I’m concerned about the privacy implications of DNA testing services like 23andMe or AncestryDNA. What are the potential risks of sharing our genetic data with those companies, and are there any privacy-focused alternatives available?

The biggest risk of “sharing DNA” is pregnancy.

I dunno, me and my boyfriend have been doing sharing almost every day, and neither of us are pregnant. Taking turns, too… 🤔

I was going to say STDs.
