Message: [QUOTE="Susan Morrison, post: 22995, member: 145189"] Sunday Times has possible one of the most grisly stories I've yet come across. They have gone ahead with the exhumation of Alfred Peacock to test his dna to confirm his relationship to "two distant female relatives" in Canada. For the love of god, why ?? What possible good can it do either of these two distant female relatives now to know this ? And if I - if any of you - were approached by someone who told us there was a remote possibility of there being a relative of yours in one of those graves, would you give permission to have them dug up and messed about with? Is this not reducing a fine scientific procedure with fantastic benefits to humanity to the level of a child's chemistry set - let's see what we can do with this ?? And what will these two Canadian ladies do with this information ? The website is [url="http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/"]http://www.sunday-times.co.uk/[/url] and you'll have to register to read the story. And then you'll have to go go walkabout to calm down [/QUOTE]
