True, personalised DNA testing is still way in the future
- Friday | 29th November, 2019
There is as much hype about personalised DNA testing as there is about Quantum Computing. There are, of course, variations of DNA testing that are incredibly useful, such as placing suspected criminals at crime scenes. Many people (particularly in the US) do these tests and believe that only people with, say, MacDonald DNA are MacDonalds. It will be another 10 years or so before ‘home’ DNA tests can tell you anything other than the fact that you have Irish or Scottish DNA – and possibly some Italian. While the hype around DNA testing is spiralling out of control, at least the hype around ‘designer babies’ has been exposed as something that, if it is ever possible, is still a long way in the future.
