[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My good friend who has 3 children via donor egg has not told them at all—oldest is in college. It’s a tough call. Not sure what I would do in her place. [/quote] It's not a tough call. She is literally denying these kids knowing their true medical history, which is awful. Also in this day and age where 23and me tests are a dime a dozen, the kids are bound to find out. [/quote] I disagree about the popularity of DNA tests. There were a novelty when their first came out, but now most of the people I know are very wary of taking them. I have a cousin who took 23andMe and found nothing interesting or unexpected. (The only tidbit he learned was he had no Native American ancestry. Like many families we had rumors, but it turns out those were unfounded.) For my part, I was so annoyed because now my DNA is also out there, without my consent. I suspect that fewer and fewer people will expose themselves like that down the road.[/quote]
