I take it that was a rhetorical question?

In case it wasn't, the answer is 'yes', but I'd be somewhat surprised to learn that the recipient went through the trouble of retrieving my DNA from it, stores it in a database and sells the contents of that database, along with any personal information that I have voluntarily shared with them.

Sounds like a business idea, send out 'surveys' and analyze the envelope when it's returned. Sell the data to insurance co. Who wants in?

That's really evil but pretty clever.

Why don't you mail me your proposal ;) ?

Of course the next step would be to create clones or use their genes in breeding programs. Hard to see exactly where the monetisation would come from. Probably evil as guess.

Clever - But wouldn't this be illegal? Or not yet?

What law would make it illegal?

The Red Queen strikes again.

Another advantage to email: they can't be licked.

brilliant!
