Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Living DNA - A new DNA company

So now it looks like Living DNA did away with the indemnify clause and now
it's more of a use at your own risk. Roberta Estes wrote about the update

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Living DNA - A new DNA company

['Lisa' via Azores Genealogy]

I purchased one of their kits (for myself) at Jamboree.  I read the article 
yesterday and it does raise concerns.  However, I only want to test with them 
for clues on my U.K. origins which go back to 1700's.  I don't plan to download 
data (I can do that from FTDNA).  My takeaway from the article was to beware of 
downloading/sharing information from them and the origins data is evolving 
(exactly what they said at Jamboree) and to be used as clues.  To be fair to 
them, they said repeatedly that their German data is weak at this time and they 
are working on improving that (Portuguese too, when I asked).

I wouldn't want to pay for the court costs of a company. I'm sure Judy
Russell, The Legal Genealogist, will say more when she gets back from her
genealogy speeches in New Zealand or Australia.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Living DNA - A new DNA company

[Margaret Vicente]

Cheri,

I disagree with the tone of this article.  Living DNA is providing its users 
with a deterrent because I find most of us are oblivious of future consequences 
and merrily go about sharing our DNA key foolishly.

The question it raises for me is this.  Would I give any stranger the key to my 
door? We all know the answer to that, then why such carelessness with one's 
DNA? Yes it is fun, but what monster are we creating for our future generations 
by being so inconsequent today?

Best wishes,

Margaret Vicente
