Notes
Title based on caption
Collected by editorial for use in a February 2001 issue of the Burnaby NewsLeader
Caption from metadata: "Heather Cutchey, 5, doesn't seem so sure as she watches her little sister, Melissa, 1, get her finger pricked, for a new child identification program being offered by New West police, BCIT and the non-profit organization, Kidz Carelink. A drop of a child's blood is preserved on a special card, providing police investigators with the DNA to make a positive identification should anything happen to the child. "We need an amount about the size of a pinhead to get a workable DNA fingerprint," says BCIT biochemist Dean Hildebrand, who runs the DNA lab in the school's forensic science technology program."
