I was surprised that this didn't come up on a search, but -

Has anyone ever had their DNA tested? Which company did you use, and was there a specific reason why you chose that company?

I'll be honest, I would love to have mine done. I have so few relatives alive that it would be nice to find even dead ones!

What worries me is the unethical part. What if some lab worker at ancestry.com co-opts your DNA and spreads it around a crime scene? Or sells any medical information to your insurance company? Maybe I'm paranoid, but I actually had a free ancestry.com kit and have just been too wary to use it.

Any takers out there?
