Re:UK to allow babies from three people by logfromblammo on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @11:24AM (#8997703)
Make the parents field a list without fixed length, ordered by fraction of donor genes. Include exceptions for specific gene identifiers from a different mix of donors.

The default case would therefore be [[0.5 Mom, 0.5 Dad], [mDNA:1.0 Mom]] for girls, and [[0.5 Mom, 0.5 Dad], [mDNA:1.0 Mom], [23X: 1.0 Mom], [23Y: 1.0 Dad]] for boys.

For clones, it would be [[1.0 Nuclear Donor],[mDNA:1.0 Egg Donor]].

For parthenogenesis, it would be [[1.0 Mom]].

For the new UK case, it would be [[0.5 Mom, 0.5 Dad],[mDNA:1.0 Egg Donor],...].

If, for some reason, a cloned baby had the Bt pesticide genes inserted, it would be [[1.0 Nuclear Donor],[mDNA:1.0 Egg Donor],[[Cry1A.105, CryIAb, CryIF, Cry2Ab, Cry3Bb1, Cry34Ab1, Cry35Ab1, mCry3A, VIP]:1.0 Bacillus thuringiensis],...].

The real problem is finding the person to rewrite the Crystal Reports to accommodate the new data structure. Feel sorry for that person.
