Maybe a naive question, but Is there a service like 23 and me but that doesn’t collect/keep my genetic information ? [@nostupidquestions@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/c/nostupidquestions)

This makes sense, I don't really know how they come up with those numbers. I feel like there is a realistic risk for harm if we DID try to classify it (ex. If you have X gene, you are Y race). It wouldn't make any sense to begin with, and it would enable arbitrary persecution

I'm more familiar with the inverse, where doctors can provide better care by screening for risks and generic markers that are more common for a particular demographic. That actually helps humanity and is worth studying more
