Should new born babies have their DNA collected?
A friend of mine and I were discussing the collection of DNA from felons and she brought up collecting DNA from new born babies so as to help recover them if they go missing, already footprints are taken. Wow what a topic for GLP I thought.

How about we insert a microchip in the neck and tattoo the forehead with a unique serial number.

convicted felons are one thing
and the morons will all agree to take the dna from their newborns saving them the trip later on.

NOW how the hell does this help in finding your missing kid ? gawd forbid your child went missing BUT if there is a happy ending wouldn't they test everything THEN ?
same for the ultimate ending from hell....

why don't these idiots simply chip their kids with a micrOGPS ?
and the same... instead of their bless_ed dna---put that chip in yer kids.


and i'm thinking they probably ARE DOING this anyway---they love those data bases--the bigger the better !
hell,they've been taking cord blood for a while already anyway and not storing it for your personal use the same EXCEPT they did ask for consent...but whO's to say what's going on or not going on right then and there ???


ehhhhh...seen the new way of getting finger printed----they spray something on the screen...supposed to make the conduction stronger.... ooooh yeah.

Re: Should new born babies have their DNA collected?
We had the same conversation about micro-chipping kids like pets in case they go missing, she said she would concider it if she ever has a kid. Never would I micro-chip my kid even though that I have my dog micro-chipped.

It is, and its stored on a card in the hospital where it was done.
It is not stored on a DNA database by a private company like some dickheads would have you believe.

Yep, every baby gets it's poor little foot pricked, and they use a pipette to get that blood!! When they draw blood on me to check my levels, they want 2 or 3 giant tubes full. So what could they be checking with one tiny pipette?? Nothing. They are used to collect the DNA for future crime solving.
Been going on a LONG time.
