    Oh goody. My nightmare of someone turning up on my doorstep and saying “Hi Dad” just got one step closer.

      I mean, this is for people who have already done a consumer genetic test like 23AndMe to disclose their results so researchers can freely access it. As far as I know, it’s anonymized and can’t actually be used to reconstruct your genome. Whereas I’m pretty sure companies like 23AndMe literally have a clause in their contract that says that they can keep your entire genome indefinitely and are free to do whatever they want with it, including sell it.

      So if anyone is going to try cloning you, it’s probably not this organization.
