We are having unseasonable weather, mild and not a lot of snow this year.
My sisters and I were having a discussion on DNA testing. One sister mentioned a few horrors some of her friends have experienced. One discovered a full sibling out there. Her mom changes the subject and he is not answering her messages to connect. Another friend discovered her dad is not her real dad. She found out she had unknowingly met her real dad but he is now deceased. Another sister said the father of a friend of had donated to a sperm bank, and discovered a number of half siblings out there.
There is good in DNA science in that they have managed to find rapist killers 30 years back sometimes.
My friend was telling me she saw on TV that they isolated a kind gene in dogs that was not present in wolves. It explains their lovable trusting nature. She said unfortunately that gene does not work well in humans. They isolated the gene in a human boy. It turns out he was overly trusting and kind to the point of it not being normal. You simply can't trust everyone blindly. I found this article that seems to relate to my friend's information.

Oh, we are in worrisome times. All we can do is to keep going. Stay positive and find joy. Although, easier said than done. Thanks so much for the post. Definitely, a lot to think on.
Thanks for sharing.
I invite you to visit my last post. Have a good week!
Maria did the DNA test and found her birth father's family on the East coast. Interesting.
Genetics is an interesting and intriguing field
Thanks for sharing this.

Wow!
People can't get away with family secrets any longer.
Wouldn't that be a shock! I was always told I was adopted. Too many secrets.
Acho que como tudo na vida, existe o lado bom
e o lado ruim dos testes de DNA.
Um abraço! ♥
Very interesting post! Thanks for sharing :)

How interesting!
Hmm, there could be a lot of sysecrets that will be revealed! Hugs, Valerie
The world has changed in many ways. I don't think it's the DNA's fault when people discover family secrets. There are probably more people who find good things from their DNA. And other than your genetics, your DNA doesn't tell you everything about who you are what you will be.
It has been mega mega cold here the last few days!
DNA is an amazing thing. It tells no lies. I watch these cold case shows and how many are caught years on due to DNA!
It is how we use the technology that matters. Some horror stories
Muy interesante. Te mando un beso.
Good points Erika -Christine cmlk79.blogspot.com
I did my D.N.A and I was told I was part French and Indian which wasn't true. No big deal.
I done quite a bit family history and I have to say my parents was up front with me. No surprise at this point.
Coffee is on and stay safe
That's the thing, if someone wants to dig into this then be prepared to possibly learn things.
Goodness, definitely the downside in DNA testing. Extraordinary about wolves and dogs and that young boy.
Yes, it seems to open up a real can of worms sometimes.
We've had cold weather in the UK, and many areas have snow.
Brrr definitely soup weather!
All the best Jan
I wanted to do a dna test but I just don't trust these places with my dna. I could just see the police being able to use my donated dna to find a familial match to a serial killer or something in 50-60 years. The thought that my dna could be used to put a great great grandchild in prison for something that maybe they didn't do (or maybe did do) doesn't sit right with me. Is that weird? lol
You make a very good point here
That was a truly interesting post and article, Christine.
DNA is fascinating! I'm sure we'll learn more as time goes on.
