I refuse to do it because I'm a twin. We both agree that it's shitty if one of us does it because then the other is forced into it basically, being identical.
Also our dad was a piece of cheating shit so we don't ever want to know about that possibility.
That would indicate your mom cheated as well? Not sure exactly what your dad cheating has to do with your DNA. Wouldn't it be better to find out he wasn't your dad if he was so shitty?
They don't want to find other siblings
Thank you; I'm sorry I missed that broader context. I try to think critically about what I read and sometimes I struggle with widening my scope of thinking
