Curious...

...but interesting somehow.

Apparently it's perfectly possible to have two completely seperate sets of DNA in one human body. And they don't actually know for sure how frequently it occurs.

Brings interesting complications to DNA testing possibly requiring to be taken from 'equivilant tissue' samples instead of the usual assumption that a cheek-swab or hair-clipping will be compatable.

Saw the documentry, it was very bizaar. They also showed a baby that had two skin colors, lighter and darker, in sections over its body, divided right down the middle. There were also a few other people that have the same thing. If you get a chance watch the show....

BTW...
