Beware of DNA Test

Yessi Pratiwi — February 3, 2009 / 10:38 pm

DNA known to be the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms.  It works as the main information source of our body molecules. It consists of different codes–this is the reason–why every body must have a unique pattern of the code,  except families. Different person come with different codes, this is the basic information that how will be he/she like.

That’s why, we often think that DNA test will be 100% acurate, since it presents our own information storage. Is that true? Can we just believe what is written in the result of our DNA test?

NewScientist reported, doing DNA tests without consent has since become a crime in the UK. The investigation showed suggests that  there are some marketing home DNA test to OK residents that unaware of the law scope, and this is all about genetic piracy we’re talking about.

So, beware of your DNA Test, especially  if you do it over seas!
