This is one of the reasons I&#x27;ve never sent a DNA swab to Ancestry.com, or 23andme. If I could do so anonymously, I&#x27;d do it in a heartbeat - but the potential losses+ outweigh the gains%.<p>+ admittedly, I&#x27;m not even sure what the worst case scenarios are, but that just makes them even scarier.<p>% ooooh, I might learn that I have a predisposition to alcoholism and rectal cancer? That&#x27;s nothing that my Russian father couldn&#x27;t have told me.
