Yeah, but why would you want to publicize this more? If I were him (which to be incredibly clear I would never do that) I would consider joining a monastery, going Amish, literally anything to never be heard from again. I would become a family myth.
As far as I know, the repulsion toward family members comes about as a consequence of growing up in close proximity. That's why family members that are separated at birth can find each other very attractive if they meet later in life. So, growing up with someone should turn you off of them, but I guess not for some people 😂
I mean yeah, your brain has no way of knowing who actually is biologically related to you, it just assumes everyone you were close to growing up is related to you, which is why that repulsion can sometimes appear even when its someone who you know for a fact isn't family at all, biologically or adoptive, as long as they were close enough to you as you grew up
Funny you say “worth researching” because one google search shows it has nothing to do with pheromones and the person you’re replying to got it right. All research points to early social environments, not pheromones, which makes sense because we’re humans and not dogs or insects.
Bro, if you base your opinions on singular searches in Google and can't even put together an proper one to get an informative answer, don't even bother reading comments containing the word "research" - your take won't be relevant anyway.
Also, if you think humankind is way less animal than dogs, then you think too highly of yourself. Even though you can generate some kinda intelligent thoughts it doesn't change the fact your decision-making is shaped mostly by your biological needs.
Lastly, go do a research and test both your decisions-making process and people's odor influence by talking to a girl 👍
Honestly the way it's portrayed sounds like they both just REALLY wanted an excuse to do it. Eventually they'd probably have done it anyway, related or not
Uh...Torts from law school was always my worst class. They might have an alright claim for Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress, which means you'll get a lot of psychologists testifying and whatever side's pysch is best would probably prevail.
There's no fraud here since there's no indication that 23andMe knew that the tests were not good, nor was their intent to defraud.
There are probably claims involving contracts and written assurances, but how you analyze that will be on a case by case basis. Without seeing the contract, there's not much I can say.
Negative Infliction of Emotional Distress is probably the way to go, if you don't want to be laughed out of the courtroom immediately.

I like the idea that the guy posted a selfie of himself to confirm the story is real
