DNA testing for Money


     There aren’t many ways to get free money.  You could donate bodily fluids, or gamble.  Taking a survey could earn you some money.  There are other ways, possibly. 



     Can you think of some The ways to earn free money? Have you heard about the recent scandal between Amazon.com and Walmart?  Walmart, the giant, has been committed to providing low prices.  Not once a year, but every day. How low can Walmart roll?  The scandal between Amazon.com and Walmart is based on the fact that if you can find a lower advertised price on an identical product, tell the cashier and they will match that price at the register.

     The Lottery couldn’t be considered free money.  You have to spend a little money in order to win. 

     Could gambling be considered free money?   Let’s look at the gambling aspect of earning free money.  Here is in one casino in particular:  (http://www.chukchansigold.com/AboutUs/), the Chukchansi Gold Resort and Casino.

    There are some people trying to claim they are part is the Chukchansi tribe.  This isn’t about the free money!  This is about being an official part of the tribe.  If you can prove that you are Chukchansi you will be entitled to become an official shareholder of the casino.  The prerequisite to becoming part of the resort is to pass a test.  You have to pass a DNA test.  The casino business wouldn’t be harmed.  Business is booming.  The casino is tribal, though.  Old wounds have been swabbed.  It is American Indians that built that casino on their land. They aren’t pawns in a chess game.  There are many claims from random people that are hoping to be granted membership of the Chukchansi.  They hope the membership will result in a share of the casino's profits. 


     Would you volunteer to take a DNA test that might possibly amount to several thousand dollars per person each year?

      'Since we started a casino a few years ago, all of a sudden we had Chukchansis coming out of the woodwork', Reggie Lewis, chairman of the Chukchansi tribe said. 'We thought DNA would be a way to make sure that we only get people who are qualified to be in the tribe in the tribe' (http://www.standupca.org/tribes/Picayune%20Rancheria/native-american-tribe-uses-dna-to-settle-casino-dispute)

     The DNA test is the key.  Have you heard of PCR?  The Polymerase Chain Reaction- biomedical technology; DNA amplification; used to amplify copied DNA across several orders of magnitude; DNA sequences are amplified into millions of copies.  


     With the test, the doctor will require a cheek swab, perhaps.  Each individual has the genetic material, contained in a nucleotide sequence, which codes them to their species.  The Chukchansi tribe has sequenced their tribal DNA, thus they are able to recognize family members. Therefore, from that sample containing DNA or RNA, PCR is the method used to amplify (boost) those unique sequences.  The technicians use those amplified strands, and determine with a very high probability the identity of the source.


 


     If you would simply finish your research, you will find that there aren’t many ways to get free money. Maybe you can find another way.
