Interesting. Pity that Dr.Joshua Lederberg, a Geneticist, Nobel Laureate at Stanford has died. I certainly would love to hear his opinion on this article. And of course his sharp sense of humor...

I am not too familiar with the whole DNA thing although there is a lot of talk about it these days. Its seems to be coming more and more popular. Several of our members have had it done and I sometimes wonder if its something I should look into.

I would like to hear more about Dr. J. Lederberg. Was he a friend of yours?

Nuccia,

He was a notable geneticist, Nobel Laureate , a member of the Stanford University faculty. I had the honor of meeting Dr.L., already retired, if such scientist ever retires!

I certainly would like to hear his opinion on the sprouting everywhere of DNA research.
It is something that everybody should consider, myself included. But ...

However, too many commercial outfits are very busy with DNA research these days... how many qualified labs and scientists?

Well, first research the research Lab.
