Tyler talks about 23andMe, Ancestry & DNA Test Services. On Amazon Prime Day, Tyler got enticed into buying 23andMe after a couple years of holding off. Tyler talks about both the excitement and worry of getting ancestry and health results, which could include information that shows him at higher risk for certain diseases. Tyler also talks about the privacy risks of using a service like this and the increasing use of these companies by law enforcement and immigration officers. What do you think? Have you used one of these services? Would you? Is there a risk? Is it accurate? And is it worth it for the information you can get?

It’s tier today. I want to talk about something that’s I think really interesting to obviously me, but to a lot of people. And we’re continuing to see the use of it and the growth of. Well, I go right here, I’m not 23. I met his… is the little package where you can get both your ancestry and your health through some DNA sampling, pretty a little spit and a kit. I haven’t actually opened us up. I did open up the plastic part ’cause I don’t want you to see me struggle with that, but I do wanna check out quickly. What was inside here. Very nice I… let’s get started. Everything feels really quite the whole branding and everything that they’ve done with a lot of these packages is all really sweet and kind, as we remind me of candy back when you were a kid and how enticing everything looks. So not too much in there. This is the kit you can see “pittas baby here. We send it in, think eight weeks or so. Actually, it comes back and you get a pretty massive report on both your ancestry and then also your health and even more than that, you actually get a kit of basically your results in raw data as well to it. So I haven’t looked as much into that, but apparently a top of ancestry dot com and 23, and me and a couple of these other platforms of services, there are actually some companies that do more of the broad data so you can actually plug your data in and get even more insights out of that than these other programs will give you. And so really interesting time that we have the ability to do this, we are in a very early stage in it, and so is just a couple of things that I wanted to talk about in terms of it today. Just looking at a couple of the looking at 23 me looking at a couple of competitors and then maybe some of the issues around this as well, too. And I have an intern in the office, right now. I felt victim.
