Honey, can I swab your cheek?

A couple of genetic testing companies are promising to match couples based on DNA testing, touting the benefits of biological compatibility. The companies claim that a better biological match will mean better sex, less cheating, longer-lasting love and perhaps even healthier children....

Would you? Attraction based on the HLA complex is not the best measure of long term bliss. People who stay together tend to be more similar than different on both HLA and non-genetic measures. But hey, for a hot speed-date, it could rock!

In the name of science, I would totally fuck the brains out of a woman genetic testing matched me with. For SCIENCE!

Sounds like a recipe for inbreeding to me- your closest genetic matches are likely to be related, although perhaps distantly.

It should give incest freaks something to live for.
