What Is DNA Home Banking — And Why Should You Care?
If you’re interested in getting all your affairs in order, you’ll likely want to make out a will, pay off your debts, and preplan your final services with a crematorium. One of the options you’ll get at some Columbus, OH direct cremation services providers is a DNA home bank. You might be wondering what it is – and why it’s even important. The reality is that it’s the sort of thing that comes part and parcel with getting your affairs in order while you are still able.
In short, a DNA home bank can be used to preserve your legacy — and to benefit your loved ones for generations to come. Your loved ones, should you get your DNA banked, will have access to your DNA in a vial. They’ll be able to store it at home.
Here’s a look at why this is important — and why it’s a good idea to contact a final services provider that offers DNA home banking.
Help Family Safeguard Their Health
By giving your family your DNA, you’ll allow future generations to access the data down the road so that they can see if they are susceptible to certain diseases or illnesses. This is about taking measures to help family – even family that will come onto the scene long after you’ve passed on.
May Come in Handy in Cases of Emergency
You don’t want to think about tragedies or emergencies, but they can nonetheless occur to even the best of people. If your child or grandchild should ever go missing in the future, your home-banked DNA may come in useful to ID the missing person or, heaven forbid, to verify the remains. It’s obviously not something you want to dwell on, but DNA home banking is about looking out for others. You want to hope for the best, but be prepared should the worst occur.
Can Come in Handy as Technology Improves
Existing technology can’t always detect a genetic link to a disease or illness that seems to be passed down from generation to generation. By banking your DNA, you’ll ensure that further tests can be done when technology improves sufficiently enough to sufficiently detect any genetic causes of ailments that current technology is unable to do.
