Fingerprints to lose relevance?
- manifold 17y agoI don't understand the connections the article is trying to make. It seems to be about improving prescriptions based on metabolic profiling, which makes sense. However, I've never had a doctor take my fingerprints in order to prescribe medicine, and I'd surely walk out with haste if they tried to. I thought that the point of taking fingerprints was that they are something people can unintentionally leave behind at a crime scene. I don't imagine that many criminals urinate over everything just before they scarper, so I remain clueless as to why fingerprints are mentioned at all.
