They want my genes!!!

Okay, this was kind of creepy. I was at the doctor yesterday (not a GP, but a specialist with an office in a hospital building where there's all kinds of other doctors' offices and whatnot), and a lady in a white coat came up to me and my mom and asked me if I'd been told about the NuGene program. I had not, so I said so. She went on to explain that they are starting this program where people with various diseases give DNA samples so that researchers can study which genes play a role in the development of common diseases, like diabetes for example, and help to develop treatments and cures. I basically just let her do her spiel, and she gave me a brochure and was on her way. Then I looked at the cover of the brochure, which said "Your Genes, Everyone's Future" and suddenly, images from all those movies where scary clones get made and something goes all wrong and they go on a rampage killing their natural couterparts filled my head and all I could think was, is this how those movies usually start out? An innocent attempt to help out future generations leads to a bloody massacre? Wait, stop, no!! I don't wanna!! I mean, not that the scary-clone-makers couldn't get my DNA anyway if they really wanted it, what with the exorbitant amount of blood I have given for tests over the many years I have been going to this hospital. But still. Something about the idea of willingly giving my GENES for "research" totally creeped me out. So my answer to this lady, should she happen to be reading this blog, is a nice, polite, "No, thank you." As cool as it may be to one day find out that I have a twin, I would not want it to end up being a CLONE twin that is trying to kill me and take over my life.
