Want to exist forever ?

An Aussie company DNA Solutions, as per a contract with the Australian De­fence started taking delivery of DNA samples from more than 70,000 full­time and reserve military personnel. The defence department collected the DNA by taking a drop of blood on a card con­taining a chemical compound that traps DNA at room temperature. DNA sam­ples collected using a technology developed by the Melbourne-based firm will ce used only to positively identify dead troops. This card is capable of storing the sample for at least 100 years. After storing DNA samples for thousands .: defence personnel, the Aussie company is now planning to do the same for the general public, with more and more people wishing to exist forever. The DNA business is witnessing a boon, as people would like to place a small part of themselves into storage.
