Warren refuses to take a DNA test---even when someone offered to pay for it. I suspect that she is afraid of what the results would be.
There is not still any question whether or not she is part Native American. She is not. Once she got what she wanted she quit claiming it.

So you want to protect your privacy, but Warren cannot protect hers? Please.

Mick---In case you haven't noticed, Warren has chosen a career path that puts her in the public eye. She had to know that she would come under scrutiny.

And, yes, Mick. I want to protect my privacy because, obviously, I'm not in the public eye.

But since you think otherwise, why don't you give us your full name and address and add your phone number for good measure.

Oh puhleez!

^^^^I agree with this, despite another poster making the claim that Warren could have Native American blood and not have it show up in a DNA test. If it doesn't show up in her test nor any of her siblings, it's either not there or in such a minute amount as to not matter.

Actually, I think that Warren had some nerve making the claim that she deserved minority status.

Elizabeth Warren is a public figure, BOS is not.

Soooo, you think Warren should have a DNA test and release the results to the American electorate? Even though, btw, she's not actually running for office presently?

But, Trump the super-duper billionaire (or so he claims) who wants to be president and run the country, doesn't have to release his tax returns (basically--his resume) to prove he's as rich as he tells us (in every other sentence) or prove that he has paid any taxes at all in the last 10 years?

C'mon.

I think we should broker a trade. We'll get Warren to do a DNA test to get to the bottom of this world changing scandal that Republicans can't drop and they'll get Trump to get a DNA to prove if he's human or Neanderthal.

Most people do have a % of neanderthal DNA, and services like 23andme can tell you a lot about your underlying DNA. We could rate presidential candidates based on how much neanderthal they had in them!

Seriously...what are the rules about ownership of your own DNA? Could someone get presidential candidates DNA, and then publish it?

She SERVES in public office. That's enough to warrant asking her to have a DNA test to determine the legitimacy of her claim and how that was used to enhance her career at Penn and Harvard.

If they're still under IRS audit and that hasn't been completed, yes.

You can't have it both ways. If you sic the IRS on people, you shouldn't then expect any disclosures until the IRS audit is complete.
