DNA Home Kit - now for sale
This home DNA kit was developed by a police Officer.
It is selling at local drugstores for about 30 dollars Canadian.
"People are intrigued by the concept for three main reasons: the family tree, the potentially missing child, and just to have your own sample."
The "Our Family DNA" kits guide you through the steps of collecting saliva, sending it in for analysis, and then storing the results for your own records.
NOTE TO NITESHIFT - This is coming to your favorite store
As hundreds of the kits fly off the shelves of pharmacies, some big name retailers like Wal-Mart are thinking about selling the product too.
However, there is a warning that the DNA swabs could be inaccurate if contaminated, and that the data could end up in the wrong hands.
Do you think there is value to this and would you ever buy one?
