Send someone up to space each year and sprinkle water on earth, do a bulk lot.
Even discounting the procedural difficulties, which would make such a baptism invalid to the church, it doesn't count without knowledge and consent.
I waited for this. Sorry to all that are affected, but maybe this is a sign for others, not to give their DNA to a random company.
Yeah, just like people stopped using their real identities on the net where there is absolutely nobody with an axe to grind for trivial issues. Sorry for the cynicism. What is even worse, people actually using these services create expectations towards everyone smart enough not to do that. Of course, that would mean your near relatives have to be smart enough not to use these services either... Now any health insurer…
The bigger issue imho is companies using biometrics as a secure authentication, but at least in USA that’s going to be no worse than SSN mess.
And half the DNA of all of the siblings and parents of the people that submitted their DNA, a quarter of their grandparents and grandchildren and so on. That's what I really hate about these companies, they get people to submit their DNA and the customers do not realize it isn't a decision that affects just them.

Isn’t it illegal to use DNA data for purposes of health insurance? How would insurance company be able to use it? Companies like kaiser run both hospitals and insurance, yet they can’t use your full medical history when determining your insurance risk.

If you leave your door open, people are still not allowed to steal you things. Do you leave your door open?

It sort of addresses a fundamental issue with a lot of Christian religions that teach that people who never had a chance to hear about Jesus and be baptized automatically go to hell. There's a lot I dislike about the Mormon church and its doctrine, but the Mormon conception of the afterlife is quite a bit more fair than a lot of other religions.

This always struck me as one of the most stupid and illogical tenets as it's in opposition to the concept of loving and just God: why create millions of people who have no chance to meet the Gospel, and then automatically condemn them…
