Even with "useless" junk forensic dna numbers where health information wasn't available, anyone with access to the database (the gov't) could take a glance and find the mailman's kid.<BR/><BR/>i think the numbers where the father thinks his wife's kid is his but it isn't, are a lot higher than one would expect.<BR/><BR/>-blogger jglUAB MSFS Programhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06355415846213348190noreply@blogger.com
