Right, but the data you get from that test is pretty broad. One test will create a background for an entire family. You only need to do one for one child. Or if both parents have one, or a sibling of both parents have done one, the children of that pair also no longer needs a test to see their background.

It’s not just about background though. Could also filter the results for genetic markers of medical conditions, something that may differ between individuals.

People that would presumably already know their lineage since their parents already took the test.

true but after the enormous initial boom they would have reached an equilibrium of a small trickle. the question is if that small trickle is enough to sustain a company on its own, so apparently not.

A person is born every day.
You are not born every day.
Seems clear that you must not be a person.
