Bob,

Are you saying SMFG can keep their test results private from law enforcement better compared to other companies that test DNA ? That is what it sounded like. I am trying to get clarification on that point.

Marianne,

I have no doubt that the gist of the story is true. However, the person who reported it to me was not a scientist and not familiar with all the nuances of testing, so he probably didn't pick up on all the points that I would have.

I think this kind of story hurts DNA testing. Or is your point your want everyone to test with SMFG and not test with other companies ? I would like for you to produce that story and post it for the entire list to read and judge it for theirself.
