A colleague forwarded me this clip on the genetic research on why some people don't have fingerprints. It's interesting to hear that according to their studies, there are less than 20 people WORLDWIDE that have this genetic mutation.
Here's the link

Are you sure that URL is right? When I tried to open it, I was blocked by our network filters. I got a message saying it was classed as "pornography."

I guess DailyMotion is a site that hosts some nudity channels so that's probably why you got blocked. Anyway, the youtube video played fine.
Sorry about the confusion.

I have seen one example of this genetic issue. I asked the person if their feet were the same and they indicated that was indeed the case.
This person was "printed" in Spokane, WA, yet I did (not) remember their name, thus could not later locate the exemplars in the files.
