I have read both threads and am almost lost for words. Totally unethical. 

Her ‘old ideas’ , I’m shaking my head at that statement, you speak as though because she’s getting on in years her thoughts and beliefs are meaningless .  Put yourself in her place, I hope for your sake that when you reach a certain age that your family give more consideration to your wishes and feelings.


I agree, glad this person is not one of mine. Feel sorry for her. Not a beloved aunt but a just a potential link to the past via DNA. Why would they treat her wishes so?

I’m still asking myself that question. Beggars belief  :o

I think the poster knows the answer, hopefully they will leave aunt alone in quest for DNA, but as mentioned if they do then that is abuse of power over elderly aunt she has no control over. No excuse!

You need to live with that if you are caring!

On ethics, I can't believe people who, look back at earlier comments.

But then we'd miss your previous comments, which also lack self-awareness:

1. "My slave owning ancestor was much kinder...the slaves used to get full board".
2. "A second cousin has taken up with a very nice Singaporean girl who is dark skinned".
3. "Half the people in the group were foreign, 4 recent immigrants".
4. "I really do think the precautions have caused more problems to the general population that the actual virus".

I do sense a pattern here. And no, I didn't go look for these previous comments of yours. I just remembered how cringe-worthy they were at the time you posted them.
