Yep. I do understand re: this not being new - worked in a forensic genetics laboratory, and I tell my family what they give up and expose us to if they contribute to one of these db's.

So caveat emptor as always...but yep I had just wondered in general about "right to delete" with respect to genomic data.

What exactly do you tell them that they're giving up and expose your family to? Kind of an odd thing to mention in a thread about a case where a family member's DNA exposed a criminal.
