And dad had every right to put her DNA there.
Not everything is a father's rights crusade.

Genetic privacy is a serious and emerging area of the law whatever some website's T&C's are.

Mom is right to balk at this nonsense, especially if it was cavalierly entered into by dad's gf.

xylene...
Are you saying that dad does NOT have the right to submit the DNA? Please answer based on legalities, not your personal opinion on the matter.

And Dad is equally right to balk at Mom's interference with a choice HE makes.

Understand? I can use smaller words if it helps.
 
I was hoping some of you would just Google it at this point. Your data can be sold off to insurance companies/employers. It can be hacked and distributed anywhere. Details about your genetics are essentially given to a company to do whatever they want with... I understand if people are okay with that... but I would rather not have sensitive information out there like that.
