DNA Storage: Saving a Legacy for Future Generations
Have you ever heard the saying, “A picture is worth a thousand words, but a memory is priceless?” It’s true, isn’t it? Photographs can tell us so many things, in a simple moment captured in time that will last many years. Unfortunately, photographs fade and erode, taking with them proof of events and life, but did you know that there is a way to preserve a person’s existence forever?
DNA storage is the latest way to preserve and keep a lasting memory of yourself or a beloved family member. Stored DNA with an extracted profile lasts indefinitely, and can also be accessed for testing at any time in the future.
EasyDNA Australia offers a range of DNA storage options for families looking to honour and celebrate their loved ones. The variety of DNA storage options is also perfect for those wanting to leave their genetic information for their families, ensuring that they have access to their past for years to come. So, who is DNA storage actually for? There are a range of people who benefit from DNA storage solutions. These include:
- Families
- The general public
- Legal organisations
- Aged care facilities
- Funeral homes and mortuaries
DNA that has been stored can be used in a variety of situations, including paternity relationships, missing persons cases, deceased estates, identification in times of disaster, and for those wanting to discover aspects of their medical history. This essentially means that if you have opted to store your DNA, it can later be used for a number of useful investigations and can be the key to unlocking the past and moving on in the future. DNA storage can help to answer those burning questions about genetic relationships that can often divide families. Storage periods can be arranged for 3, 5, 10 and 15 years.
In addition to preserving the memory and unique genetic code of a loved one, there are additional benefits resulting from DNA storage. There are legal and non-legal options for DNA storage. The legal option is beneficial for individuals involved in deceased estate disputes, paternity and other familial matters, and for those working in high-risk professions. The Non-Legal option benefits people who want to achieve peace of mind about leaving a legacy when they pass away, or for those wanting to leave a lasting memento of their genetic profile.
