I'm concerned about the privacy implications of DNA testing services like 23andMe or AncestryDNA. What are the potential risks of sharing our genetic data with those companies, and are there any privacy-focused alternatives available?

Someone could build an army of clones of you, launch galactic war, and then you'd be hated all over the galaxy. Assuming you have good genes. Probably they made a bad movie about this.

If someone launched galactic war using clones of me, I'd be laughed at all over the galaxy.

Not if my clones win.

Then I'm the Godking father of the new galactic empire
