I'm very curious about it, but have not gotten it done for the reasons you bring up. Right now, pre-existing conditions cannot prevent you from getting health insurance, but that wasn't true in 2008. Pre-existing conditions can prevent you from getting life insurance or can make your life insurance very high. What about genetic disposition to certain diseases? If it is known, could it affect the ability to get these insurances? Or cause you to have sky high premiums? Ever see the movie Gattaca?

That said, I'm very very curious. I want legal protections though. I have a second cousin who did it. She found out she's related to all of our other second cousins Plus some other people too!
