Sorry, but I for one don't like the idea at all of molecular genealogy. Maybe I'm being paranoid but who's to say what will or could be done with your DNA sample later on down the road with the cloning and things scientist are doing now. There have been many times the government has used people in experiments and didn't let them know. Also what happens when one day people decide to discrimanate against people with certain genes. It can happen, just as the Jews, Blacks and Indians have been discrimanated against. Just don't think it's a good thing. It could be used in to many wrong ways, and is an invasion of privacy.

I have to agree with Lynn. How would it help find ancestry unless you get samples from the dead? I would not participate.
