Fake Your DNA Test
Four Massachusetts men have been charged with attempting to tamper with DNA testing. They apparently tried to trade ID bracelets when having their blood drawn but was caught when their fingerprints didn’t match the samples. They could be sentenced up to five years in jail.
This story got me curious. Is it possible to fake DNA test results? A simple search turned up this gag gift from FakeNewspapers.com. For just $17.95, their DNA Collection Kit from “DyNA Labs” allows you to fake the collection and mailing of DNA to the lab. A week or so later, you take the certificate that’s included and show your victim whether or not their DNA was a match.
If you want NOT to be related to your little demon-spawn brother, show him the certificate proving he’s not of your royal blood at all (why, he must be adopted after all!)
Or would you rather your ex-girlfriend’s child be yours? The test will show a DNA match or mis-match, at YOUR discretion!
Classy, eh?
NB: Also see their fake Genetics Research Advances newspaper article.

damn.. i never thought DNA test could be duped..
is there any fool proof way then?
vijay: With the right accomplice(s), anything is possible.
But this is truly a gag gift. No lab is involved.
In Saskatchewan, a doctor inserted some surgicl tubing into his arm full of someone else’s blood, in order to pass a DNA test following a sexual assault on a patient.
He pulled it off, making the tube appear to be his vein.
His deception was eventually discovered, and he was convicted.
Eric: Yick!! I found his name – John Schneeberger.
why dont the judges in the bahamas, order howard stern to take a dna test, even if howard stern name is on the birth certificate thats no reason not to prove to the court he is the baby father, taking a mouth swap or blood test would prove if howard was the father or not, i believe the reason howard stern refuses to take the test is he knows he is not the father, cause howard is gay and likes men, but he will let his lawyers trag it out in court manewvers of dirty tatics, to avoid taking the test.
