Another Weird Use for DNA Testing
Using genetic testing to determine ancestral origins makes sense to me; using genetic testing to solve crimes makes sense to me; even using genetic testing to identify potential future diseases makes sense to me; but using it to determine which sport is appropriate for your two year old is just plain weird. It's no surprise people are taking the science in this strange direction. I can imagine, in the not too distant future, there will be DNA dating sites where people will submit cheek swab samples for testing to determine the best genetic match for a couple. As I was writing this I decided to do a Google search on "DNA dating" and found it's not a future thing, but is here now...Oh brother!

DNA testing is going to change the culture. Imagine employers testing if you for desired traits or unwanted attributes. I think we need some legislation on how this stuff can and should be used.
