Thank you for sharing your buyer's remorse.  I have no doubt my DNA
may have been extracted from the blood work I had for a cholesterol
test.  At least the nefarious & stealthy sampling isn't connected to
nearly public databases.  I'm sure the rest of my information profile
is a business asset too.  I'd be as willing to spend $99 to keep my
DNA/id out of databases as you were to add it into one (likely
several)
