I'd never want to get my DNA tested by a service like this. It may be cool, but there's too many things at play here.

    - privacy
    - security of data
    - wrongful use of data
    - spread of misinformation
    - mind fucking that ensues after reading your results
    - probably a lot more
The only benefit is for those who are so curious about what genes they carry, what mutations they have, and who they may or may not be related to. Really, why risk having your mind potentially fucked by knowing something about yourself that you're not ready to handle yet?

Sorry if I seem overly critical about a service like this, but it just doesn't seem worth it to me.
