In the case of the Eucharistic miracle of Buenos Aires (sp) they can’t get a get a DNA profile. Why not? What does that suggest?

That we shouldn’t be doubting Thomases and expect a neat, medically materialistic explanation for miracles. 😉
 
DNA doesn’t factor into my belief in the real presence.

Why does it matter so much to you?

Have this conversation with Jesus after you have received Him.
Also, read today’s readings. Spot on for this topic.
 
From what I read about that miracle, the DNA showed that it was from part of the heart that had been under severe stress. You can read the full account and see the video by googling the above title.

I believe I was read that the blood residue on the Shroud showed only female DNA. That’s understandable.
 
I’m not sure where you read about them not be able to profile the DNA. Here’s what I found with a quick Google search.
On October 5, 1999, in the presence of the Cardinal’s representatives, Dr. Castanon took a sample of the bloody fragment and sent it to New York for analysis. Since he did not wish to prejudice the study, he purposely did not inform the team of scientists of its provenance. One of these scientists was Dr. Frederic Zugiba, the well-known cardiologist and forensic pathologist. He determined that the analyzed substance was real flesh and blood containing human DNA. Zugiba testified that, “the analyzed material is a fragment of the heart muscle found in the wall of the left ventricle close to the valves. This muscle is responsible for the contraction of the heart. It should be borne in mind that the left cardiac ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body. The heart muscle is in an inflammatory condition and contains a large number of white blood cells. This indicates that the heart was alive at the time the sample was taken.

A Eucharistic Miracle in Argentina
 
I would think scientific testing of the bronze serpent that cured snake bites would be just that, bronze. Nothing more empirically. This doesn’t negate all that it was, which is how I see Transubstantiation
