Did we figure a way to mass email? Or we may just have to frequently post about it as a reminder
Specifically this…
We should see it as our collective responsibility - helping both ourselves and our fellow friends here. In the grand scheme of things the cost of the test is an absolutely paltry amount. Think of how we fritter money away with so much fluff - a latte here, a magazine there etc. Even if you don’t feel that personal connection to invest, think of it as a charitable donation to your friends here. We have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain by this. If you don’t go ahead with buying the kit, think on next time you pay your Netflix dues. All that is just filler. This is about our lives.

And for those who don’t want to deal with the hassle - there is NONE. a 12 year old could do this all. as an added bonus you find out your true nationality. i found out in 50% syrian, 25% egyptian, and 25% sicilian. this and the chance of possibly unveiling the cause of this is worth 100 bucks to me.

Man that is a cool heritage. Interesting background.
Worth that for the test alone!

I’m boringly 90.9% British and Irish (99.9% European), with 0.1% Sub-Saharan African for added allure. Oh, and I have a bit of the Neanderthal in me - 276 variants at under 4% of my DNA. Does that not entice guys to get the test? Come on, my Neanderthal brothers!

It will inevitabley be used in researches that you may not know about or consent to. It won’t be for bad things, I’ll be intended for medications that will help the world in my opinion… I’m okay with this and I hope you are too
