DNA testing: Let's revisit it. [View all]

Let me say up front that I have not undergone any DNA testing whatsoever myself and therefore have no opinions on any of the available tests. However, today I had a rather intriguing conversation with two people who had undergone testing, including one who had used 23andMe, and it left me wondering whether putting off testing any longer was such a good idea.

Opinions, please, on current tests available and whether they were worth your while.

And while I was wandering around the Internets, I found the following advice on how to proceed if cost is an issue:

I'm still not sure where I stand on the use of 23andMe, even though I only want the results for genealogy purposes and not for health advice. In any event, here's a little recent update from Forbes:
