Portrait Sculptures From Genetic Material

I don't believe this so called "artist", and think that she is, in reality, nothing more than a self-promoting B.S. artist.

DNA testing isn't cheap under the best of conditions, when you can take a blood sample in an office, and in the case of recovering genetic traces from discarded cigarette butts, etc. that are full of environmental contamination, the obstacles to acquiring a usable sample are formidable. I would bet that this "artist" cannot provide any laboratory reports or paid receipts from an accredited DNA laboratory to back up her outlandish claims of having extracted and analyzed these supposed genetic samples.

Moreover, her claim to have written custom software that can reconstruct facial features, and actually synthesize a 3D face from the results of testing two or three genetic characteristics is laughable on its face.

I can only assume that she has personal connections with the media outlets that are promoting her fake art, or she has paid a PR firm to plant these ridiculous stories in willing press outlets.
