“Shocking Diagnosis Forces Wealthy Father of Three to Confront Hidden Family Secrets”
How This Study Impacted The Future
Chris’s case has changed many peoples’ opinions about DNA tests. Before, DNA tests were considered infallible in the courtroom. But the study suggests that common conditions may make DNA exams less foolproof than we assumed.
Chimeras have no issues in terms of health or medicine, but they create stumbling blocks for criminal investigators who rely on DNA tests to catch a perpetrator. With chimera cases coming to light, forensic scientists will have to redefine how they analyze DNA evidence.
Where Is Chris Now?
Chris Long recovered from his AML. He is now healthy and experiences no issues as a chimera (he is completely innocent!) He told the Independent that he planned a trip to Germany to thank his donor for saving his life.
Chris has not reported whether or not he’ll continue working with the forensic scientists. However, Renee and her colleagues have suggested that they will continue to research the effects of chimerism — specifically how it affects a patient’s offspring.
