Regeneron Pharmaceuticals on Monday announced it is buying 23andMe out of bankruptcy for $256 million – taking with it the company’s extensive trove of genetic samples and data. It will acquire 23andMe’s Personal Genome Service, Total Health and Research Services and its large biobank, including genetic data of more than 15 million customers – raising privacy concerns from individuals who had willingly handed over the samples to completely different owners. All of 23andMe’s genetic testing services will continue uninterrupted, and the deal is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025 pending bankruptcy court and regulatory approvals, Regeneron said. https://nypost.com/2025/05/19/busin...me-and-its-genetic-data-for-256-million/

But the Mormons already have the data and I don't remember them having people sign anything.
Some say they're trying to baptize the dead...(joke)

Who cares……I’m quite sure, like me, most have a close family member that has their DNA on file. With that, they really don’t even need a sample from you.

My wife and I did 23Nme about 4 years ago . Once they provide you your background --- they ask specifically if you give permission to "share" your data . We opted no . They asked about 20 times for a year before giving up .
100% they will want to profile peoples health for genetic issues ----BUT , that can also have advantages if done right ---
Example -- MTHFR gene mutation affects approx 55-60% of the US population and is easy to correct . 23NMe testing was free for this .
