DNA Testing

This week for social studies, we were asked to write about DNA testing and if we would take the chance to do one. I said yes because I would've liked to find out about my family. We were told to first plan the paragraph, then write the paragraph, and then get feedback and write a final version of the paragraph. I haven't gotten feedback yet but I do hope I do. Here is what I have done so far.

YES OR NO: YES

WHY:

-Would like to find out if I am actually Fijian

DNA testing is when you give your DNA to check something out, it could be to check your genes, find out if you are actually part of your family etc. Some people think that DNA testing isn’t good while others think that it’s a good chance to find out information you wouldn’t even know about. If I had the chance to get DNA tested I would. I would try it out because I would like to know if I am actually Fijian, it would be interesting to find out if I wasn’t and what I would’ve actually been. I would also like to know how much of my ethnicity is true, am I actually Fiji-Indian or am I something completely different. If I took a test I would like to find out about my ancestors, my family don’t really know who our ancestors are and If a test could tell me it would be really fun to see with my family. I would also take a test to find out if I have distant relatives, I wonder if I ever had family that I never knew I would have, it would be interesting to find that out too. Sometimes DNA testing isn’t good as some companies violate your privacy to sell your information to other companies or governments, sometimes they can scam you if you don’t choose the right company. This is why you should be quite careful with the company you choose, always look at the reviews to see if they are legit or frauds. It’s still nice to try if I ever got the chance to because I could find out so much stuff that I might have never known of, it could make me aware of how cultural I could be. These are some reasons why I would like to try DNA testing, it would be a little weird to try out but it seems fun, especially when I could learn so much about myself.
