Assignment:
More and more people are using home DNA testing kits (AncestryDNA, 23andMe, etc.) to learn more about their ancestry and/or find information about their risk of developing certain diseases. These DNA testing companies can also match people to their relatives. Test takers have to "opt-in" to the matching service, and then they can view a list of matches along with the likely relationships (niece, 2nd cousin, etc.).
For some, the matches are unexpected. A person may find out that the father who raised them is not their biological father. An adoptee could be matched with someone from their birth family; this match could allow the adoptee to identify their birth parent even if the birth parent has not tested. As you can imagine, there are some ethical issues associated with this.
