If you have been following the news, you should be aware that the people of Lebanon have been under a violent bombardment that has recently escalated. Please consider donating to help them if you can or trying to spread word of the fundraiser.

Asheville and Western North Carolina at large are in crisis after Helene, please consider contributing to these local organizations and helping the people whose lives have been destroyed.
Something very important to me. Everyone of you could help give families peace and justice using your DNA

So people should give away important information like this so it gets stored in a database just to hopefully get a few dozen bad people off the streets?
Well if OP current job doesn't work out for him he will always have a bright future among its like minded peers in homeland security / CIA.
I mean I know I am sounding dismissive here, but seriously this is basically the same argument that gets used in the name of national security by a ton of countries all the time, creating problems that can potentially affect millions (and will likely do at some point) to stop a statistically insignificant problem is a very grave error in logic to say the least.

With this OP title I thought it would be like OP talking about how DNA evidence led to his brother's killer and he was finally able to find closure. Instead it's not lol
Yeah any technology is only as good as the current understanding and utilization of it.
In terms of criminal justice, there is a damn good reason why we have the right to remain silent and why if you ever run into trouble or face questioning by police the smart thing to do is shut the fuck up. Just shut the fuck up until you've have a lawyer who understands the law and is in your corner to stand up and fight for you.
It's way to easy to innocently give out information with only the best intentions in mind and get absolutely fucked over by someones misuse of that information.
Ok, but how do you really feel to have to reply that way instead of acknowledging what they are saying and that you understand exactly what they mean but just want to condescend

Mate we weren't even allowed to drink when the corporate police state was established.

Pretty sure he's referring to the Zuckerbergs of the world giving a backdoor to governments and bad actors around the world via social media platforms.
dat's da sound of da police
da sound of the beast
Absolutely not.
Not sure what pitch OP was going for. But pay to have the FBI shake my family tree and see what falls out doesn't sound like a good use of my money or something I would ever want to do.
If I could legally bar everyone in my family from taking part in something like this I would.

My S/O was just talking about submitting the code to her very existence to some corporation so that they can feed her back false results while selling her soul.
If you've committed any crimes such as the following you should report yourself to all relevant corporations so they can sue you:
Emulation, downloading games, downloading music, listening to music on YouTube, using copyrighted images as forum avatars, illegally downloading forum avatars of copyrighted material (all of you are guilty of this violation of copyright and must be sued, turn yourself in now).

You could start with the actual police if you want to get a bunch of really bad people off the streets.
I'm not helping these assholes if they refuse to police themselves.
This is both the funniest and the realest post I've read all week.
I am afro american. No way am I aiding the police in harassing my family tree for yrs to come under false charges or they got "setup" somehow
This is a terrible idea. This kind of thing is pretty much the worst way to use DNA evidence; it should be used in conjunction with other evidence in a targeted way. Just because there are a few instances of this producing what appear to be good convictions doesn't mean that it should be used in general. The problem is that as the number of possible matches increases, so does the chance of a false positive. If lazy or incompetent police or prosecutors use this as a way to start fishing expeditions against people with certain familial DNA, it's highly likely to produce miscarriages.
For identifying lost remains, it's a God send. I do worry about it being abused. One thing, it's kind of better having a third party do the initial testing. There have been horror stories of people being wrongly convicted based on forensic evidenced that was falsified/not performed by state labs.
I'm guessing this didn't go exactly as OP planned.
And fuck no, a national DNA register in the hands of the government/law enforcement is some dystopian shit.

That's protected by medical confidentiality. The police can't just search medial DNA databases en masse as a fishing expedition.
Uh, he can have my DNA any time. ;)))
Good evening my fellow Reset Era posters...
But nope, I don't want to do one of these DNA things. It's not even accurate or anything yet.
Nope, no way, not gonna happen. These companies have all my damn data already, the only way they're getting my DNA is by force.
I have been waiting all afternoon for someone to come through with the goods.
