Suzane Daley is the author of the article "Spanish Scientist Puts Genetics to Work to Find Missing Children." The article talks about Dr. Jose A. Lorente in Lima, Peru, who was unsatisfied with the fact that the police had nothing to do to help children who lost their parents or had no guardians. One solution he came up with was genetics. He hoped that with proposal of using DNA databanks around the world, he could track down children and help them reunite with their families. The author then continues the list of works done by Dr. Lorente with children.
The author starts the article by providing the reader with a subtle flashback: a doctor inside a taxi who, ten years ago, started to think about helping out children. Daley then states some quotes the doctor himself said. To further support Dr. Lorente's aid of children, Suzane Daley lists a number of countries which Dr. Lorente himself contacted to propose the DNA databank project. Furthermore, Daley then provides an overview of Dr. Lorente's foundation (DNA-Prokids) which has provided thousands of free DNA tests and kits that have helped 550 children find their families and avoid 200 illegal adoptions. The author states facts about the foundation and how it helped children all around the world. The author also puts some quotes of other doctors who supported Dr. Lorente's foundation. Daley first provided the background introduction and continued on from Lorente's desire to help up to his success with helping children.
