Ask To be honest, I don't remember the name of the project. All I remember is that the parents of that girl were really encouraging everyone to give their saliva samples to test for a match. As you said, the chances that someone's DNA will match are very rare, but there is that slight possibility. Also, as you said, with us minorities, it's even harder because not too many of us are registered and for marrow, not only does the blood has to match but the other characteristics of the blood and DNA have to match as well. The father of that girl was a pediatrician and the mother was a nurse.
