Faster DNA Testing

tkjtkj writes "Physorg.com is reporting that a Rochester,NY, company, 'Thermal Gradients, Inc' has produced a new method of DNA analysis that can reduce the required time from hours to minutes that the usual 'Polymerase Chain Reacion' (PCR) takes to produce the large quantity of sample DNA needed to identify the donor. This could,conceivably, make "Instant DNA Identification" a reality! Will air travel now require one to arrive at the airport 5 minutes earlier than usual, to provide a skin-swab sample before boarding the plane?"

    Ok, that's all great, but maybe you could answer my question.

    "Yet you want to just hand this over to the people in charge without any thought to what they'll do with it."

    Please post the quote where I make that statement, if you could.

    You'll be looking for a while, because I never said anything even remotely close to that. You completely made up a straw man to argue with.

    And since that kind of irrational, fucked up fourth grade thinking is exactly what I see from people who advocate think like you do, I can say with certainty that your opinion is worthless.

    Until you can actually comprehend what you're reading, you'd be better off keeping your overly paranoid mouth shut.

    Seriously, why would you lie about what I think, when I can easily disprove your pathetic lie?
