What is DNA testing
voir la vidéoDNA paternity testing is a complex scientific process, carried out on a simple mouth swab, which can positively identify relationships between people. Most commonly it is used to establish if a man is the true biological father of a child. DNA paternity testing is also often referred to simply as a DNA test, a paternity test or DNA testing. It was developed by Sir Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in 1985. Cellmark became the UK's first private DNA paternity testing laboratory in 1987. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the body's genetic 'blueprint'. It is a long thread-like molecule which carries the "genetic code" that determines our individual characteristics. DNA is found in almost all of the billions of cells that make up our body. Every child inherits a unique mixture of DNA from its parents so, except for identical twins, no two people in the world have exactly the same genetic code.

Over the counter testing
voir la vidéoHow curious are you about the information in your DNA? Have you ever thought of taking a genetic test you can buy on the internet? Public interest in DNA is increasing and people are more curious about the information contained within their genome. It is now possible to access a range of DNA tests -- for a price -- on the internet. Yourgenome.org presents a short video of Dr Steve Cross who decided to analyse his DNA using tests available to UK citizens over the internet. You may find his thoughts and results interesting...

Testing on Animals is Fundamentally Wrong: UK's National Anti-Vivisection Society-3
voir la vidéoToday's Stop Animal Cruelty program features the conclusion of a two-part series on the sickening practice of using animals in laboratory experiments. Sadly, testing on animals occurs in the cosmetics, defense, pharmaceutical, and a number of other industries. It is estimated that globally 100 million animals die needlessly each year in experiments. The National Anti-Vivisection Society, the world's first organization to campaign against the practice, was founded in 1875 by the great British humanitarian Frances Power Cobbe, who published leaflets and articles opposing experimentation and gained the support of many prominent figures of her day. The current Chief Executive of the organization, Ms. Jan Creamer, recently spoke with Supreme Master Television about the ghastly nature of animal testing and why animal-free research is superior in all respects. On last week's program we learned that countries around the world are increasingly moving toward non-animal based testing methods in medical research. Ms. Creamer now addresses related developments in academia... [ go to Youtube.com ]
