I just got through reading the transcript since I had forgotten about 60 Minutes. I feel it was partly slanted and didn't provide a accurate presentation. It might get others interested in DNA and testing but some of the statements are not fair reporting and might turn others away from DNA testing.

I think a second report as a follow up should be done with more accurate information..... maybe input from this list. I intend to email CBS with exactly these statements.

I did not see any comments from list members however. Too bad they
didn't use a fresh example, I have seen or read about this couple
before. Maybe someone on the list can give them an interesting angle
for a new story.
