No company would be stupid enough to allow a customer to delete their DNA/Profile data permanently. Too valuable a resource. With storage costs at an all time low, it'd be foolish to do so.

Working in the "big data" industry for 30+ years I saw this shyte coming when 23&Me was announced as an offering.

Fun fact, one thing that home DNA tests like 23 and me have shown is that approx 10-20% of children born to married couples are NOT the child of the husband.

Home DNA kits are illegal in France because of this.

Home DNA kits are illegal in France because of this.

And here in the US many states have what's called presumptive paternity. It doesn't matter what the DNA test says or who the biological father is. If you are married to a woman when she has a child you are legally responsible for that child. Many men are sitting in jail right now because they didn't pay child support for children that aren't theirs. Another fun fact, that is considered a civil case and not a criminal case. You have no right to an attorney if you cannot afford one. You just sit in jail while the back child support keeps piling up

how can this be with DNA from just one person??? They would need 2, father and child.

Could be the stat was derived from a limited sample where all children & adults in a household/marriage have submitted sample DNA or just father & child.
