I think they stopped doing it. Jewish organizations were absolutely livid once they found out they were baptizing Holocaust victims.
It is a pretty important aspect of Latter Day Saint theology. They still do it but officially you can only baptize your own family members with the permission of surviving family members. These guidelines are not always followed. Additionally they have said they removed people from their rosters that were improperly baptized but the members I have talked with are skeptical and found it a bit laughable that the church…
That's one good case where it would be the moral thing to name a kid Robert'); DROP TABLE Baptized;--

You cold e-mail CEOs and get a >70% hitrate? I gotta try this more often.
I do put try to make them a mix of feedback + entertainment. Example To: jeff@amazon.com subject: The Day the Music Died I was looking forward to playing my Yamaha Digital Piano that I ordered from Amazon today when I got home from work at "the country club". Instead I'm stuck tapping this UPS "Delivery Attempted" notice and the melodies just aren't coming through. ? In the last 6 months I ordered 37 packages from Am…

On the topic of laughability, I would propose that "invoking a dead stranger's name in a self-significant ritual" is absurd to do, and also absurd to be offended by.
I hereby grant permission for my name to be invoked in all rituals, sacred and profane, by all current and future living persons. And I'll laugh at you in advance.

I skimmed their website and it doesn't seem like they're promising any sort of confidentiality. Maybe there's something buried in their privacy policy, but you'd think that privacy would be a pretty big selling point?

Did your relative? I'm not a geneticist so I could be totally off the mark; but, to my understanding, the painful part is that is a big disclosure right there
My oldest brother did so I'm already screwed
Can even one single person here articulate their specific fears of using 23andme, or is it all FUD?

Maybe too far fetched? Company sells/loses data, insurance companies use data to deny coverage, or deem claims as pre-existing.

Ancestry owns newspapers.com A lot of Ancestry.com and AncestryDNA was founded to support the Mormon belief that the LDS church can posthumously baptize ancestors of living individuals into the church under the belief that many deceased individuals were not alive to hear the gospel of Joseph Smith. Thus the massive data collection effort for historical information like newpaper articles from this century and the last…

I mean I’d see that as an invitation to help myself to anything the church owns that isn’t nailed down.
