Send Your DNA into Space (for real!)

Right now the idea of leaving earth for greener planets is something mostly addressed in science fiction novels. In the back of our minds, though, I think we all know that sometime in the future this will be a reality. Technology will allow us to expand our horizons.
What if we have to leave on the tail of global disaster? What if only a handful of people can go to colonize a new earth? Logically, one would assume that scientists would take many, many DNA samples so that the future population of the new world would be diverse and healthy, vibrant and worthy?
So, who would be chosen to donate their DNA for such an endeavor? I am sure there are as many opinions on this as there are people alive today. However, I lean more toward the intellectuals, the thinkers, those who invent and expand our humanity.
And me. Don’t forget me. 
I can see the endless benefits of my DNA being passed along to those who leave to advance the legacy of the human. I cannot imagine not being able to pass along my wit and wisdom and my amazing timing in when it comes to telling inappropriate jokes.
