It's always been a bit disturbing that there is no accounting for your tissue or organs after they're removed. The cops don't need to swipe your DNA from a complimentary drink during questioning. They'll just pull your foreskin out of cold storage.

Who puts a foreskin in cold storage? Though I know of one mother who saved her son's for a scrapbook, and I thought that was very strange.

>there is no accounting for your tissue or organs after they're removed. something I had never thought about, but what does an organ transplant do to these tests if a sample was taken from a recipient?

  Organ transplants have the DNA of the donor, not the DNA of the recipient.

    right...so is there a way of taking a sample from the recipient and have dna show up from the donor in a way that would confuse a police inquiry?

      Have them sample the transplanted organ

      Someone who's had a bone marrow transplant will have different DNA in their blood than in the rest of their body.

      Samples are taken from inside the cheek, maybe when head transplants are more common, but even then you'd need the donor to have committed the crime, left their DNA via saliva, eyelash or such, then died, you receive the head transplant, then get collared for the crime. All without pointing out anywhere that it's a head transplant and could they use a different source of DNA sample.

> It's always been a bit disturbing that there is no accounting for your tissue or organs after they're removed. The hospital definitely has an accounting for them. Typically tissue or organs removed are sent to pathology, where they may be further tested and/or sold for research, data or other purposes. It's a dirty secret that hospitals make a ton of money off of parts of your body that they cut out.
