OTC DNA Testing: Will This Put Maury Povich Out Of Business?

For some reason, every time I turn on any of the daytime "talk" shows- the topic is "Who's The Daddy/DNA Paternity Testing"... So, needless to say, when I saw this article, I got worried for those shows. But don't give your hopes up... the kit "costs" $19.99 at the drug store, but you have to tack on a $119 lab fee and then an extra $200 if you want to ensure the "chain of custody" of the items - which logically, they couldn't just do for FREE. Anyways, while theoretically helpful, in my opinion, the OTC DNA Testing is not really a move in the right direction at all. The rate of error of these tests has to increase exponentially due to the responsibility left upon the "testing" parties - like correctly swabbing, correctly placing everything in a separate bag and of course, READING directions.

Which is fine with me, who doesn't like to be at home at 10am watching a mom scream, "YOU ARE THE FATHER.. I told you so, you son of a bitch. To the face." It's just so relaxing.
