I heard about this on the news today and thought it was a brilliant idea. I'm almost tempted to try it out.

| It is pretty cool, but $120 to find out where I'm from? No thanks - I'd spend a fiver if someone could tell me where I'm going though! |

| Sounds neat, but how do they do it without the DNA of everyone in the world? I mean to find out if I'm related to you, they would need both of our info...??? |

It sounds interesting, but I'm with Face - $120 is too steep.

Apparently they've a large database of DNA and that's what they go by. I'm not too sure how it all works but it got pretty positive responses on the radio show, and it's one of those shows where the people are usually quite critical of anything so that's why it stuck in my mind. |
