Maybe someone on the list can give them an interesting angle
for a new story.

I was just on the 60 Minutes website this morning and while some comments are good others are not. Instead of explaining DNA to the public there are now some making comments of a racial nature, some good and some bad.

There is the new story.... whether it helps or hurts DNA, I guess only time will tell. The comments as to racial issues is the downside to this. I hope this doesn't discourage people from testing.

On the upside , 60 Minutes needs to have a follow up and describe the benefits to DNA testing more than this one success story. They need to receive some education as to how the process works.
