The most legitimate reasons to get a DNA test
Change language:
If you were born in Hungary, or your family is from here, you may not think much of the idea of getting an ancestry DNA test. After all, you know where you’re from. What could a DNA test possibly tell you.
That’s how I thought, at least, before I decided to actually give it a try. I went in blind, but it is a good idea to research the best DNA test kit before committing. There are a number of excellent options, but each will speak to different people, and your choice may well be related to what you’re looking for.
When I got the results of my DNA test, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only am I not 100% European as I had thought I was, I am only 65% European! My ancestry extends into Africa and Asia. But that’s not all I got out of my DNA test.
Here are the most legitimate reasons to try an ancestry DNA testing kit.
The health benefits
First and foremost, I must mention the fact that a DNA test can give you very important health information. In my case, for example, it revealed a predisposition in my genetics for a certain type of cancer. On further investigation, I found out that my great-grandfather and my father’s uncle had both died from this cancer.
Knowing this information gives me the opportunity to catch the disease early if I am unfortunate enough to contract it. Early diagnosis makes the chances of recovery significantly higher. In other words, this information could literally save my life.
So i should give out my genetical data to a corporation ? Sounds fkin stupid. Besides you can always do a family tree research and find out where your family came from.
Why do some people feel ashamed of their own culture, while ‘sycophanting’ themselves to other cultures?
We should be neither proud or ashamed of our ancestors. We can only be proud or ashamed of our own actions full stop.
