DNA MatchMaking: It's in your Genes?

| | Comments (1)

1dna.jpgWhatever happened to good old fashioned dating? People want the “easy” way out. Now the latest matching making service ScientificMatch.com, will find your soulmate based on your DNA. Get your lazy &*$$es up and go and find your own future husband or wife.


When I first heard about this service my immediate concern was privacy. But don’t worry, hah-hah, the company assures you and notes on their main page:

“We faithfully guard your DNA. Your genetic information is never made public—not even you can see it. Our lab never knows whose DNA they’re looking at. We only analyze a very few of your immune system genes—not your whole genetic makeup. And your DNA sample is destroyed after we’re done with it. With all our safeguards, your genetic privacy is more vulnerable when you get a hair cut and leave the trimmings on the floor!”

Sorry, I don’t trust the NEVER claim. Just like credit card merchants and companies continually tell us: Your privacy is very important us. This admission has not prevented hackers from getting into their databases and stealing our personal identification and credit card numbers.

I am just not buying this concept. If you are interested, the cost for service will set you back by about two grand. *Sitting back waiting for the first breach of privacy claims*

If they keep everything so confidentially and secretly, where is the guarantee that they really analyze your DNA. What parameters do they use to define good pairs?
