You would think here in the US someone as innocent as an infant would be 
protected by the 4th amendment.  I wonder what the fate of a child who's 
DNA profile shows them to predisposed to becoming a politician would be?

[Biofuel] New Legislation Calls for Government Ownership of DNA

  http://www.naturalnews.com/z023126.html  New Legislation Calls for Government 
Ownership of DNAby Barbara L. Minton (see all articles by this author)


(NaturalNews) An article published in the April 4, 2008 issue of World Net 
Daily outlines a plan that has state and federal governments staking claim to 
the ownership of every newborn's DNA in perpetuity. This Orwellian like plan is 
advancing under the radar of most privacy rights activists, as well as that of 
most people. It would turn the U.S. citizenry into an enormous pool of subjects 
for involuntary scientific experiments, claims one organization alarmed over 
the issue.

We are considered guinea pigs, as opposed to human beings with rights, 
according to Twila Brase, president of the Citizen's Council on Health Care, a 
Minnesota based organization. The Senate just voted to strip citizens of 
parental rights, privacy rights, patient rights and DNA property rights. They 
voted to make every citizen a research subject of the state government starting 
at birth, she said. They voted to let the government create genetic profiles 
of every citizen without their consent.

Brase warned that the ultimate outcome of such DNA databases could spark the 
next wave of demands for eugenics, the science of improving the human race 
through the control of various inherited traits. The founder of Planned 
Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, who brought us the message of choice about 
reproductive freedom, was one of the original advocates of eugenics to cull 
from the population people considered unfit.

In 1921 Sanger said that eugenics is the most adequate and thorough avenue to 
the solution of racial, political and social problems. She later lamented the 
ever increasing, unceasingly spawning of human beings who never should have 
been born at all.

Minnesota lawmakers recently endorsed a proposal that would exempt stockpiles 
of DNA information already collected from every newborn from any type of 
consent requirements. If approved, researchers would be able to utilize the DNA 
of more than 780,000 Minnesota children for whatever research project they have 
in mind, according to Brase.

The DNA of every newborn will be collected at birth and warehoused in a state 
genomic biobank, and given away to genetic researchers without parental 
consent, or in adulthood, without the individual's consent. Already, the health 
department reports that 42,210 children have been subjected to genetic research 
without their consent, Brase told World Net Daily.

Although Brase works with Minnesota issues, similar laws, rules and regulations 
are already in use across the country. Lists of the various statutes or 
regulatory provisions under which the newborns' DNA is collected for all 50 
states and the District of Columbia, can be found in The National Conference of 
State Legislatures.

These programs are the result of screening requirements for the detection of 
treatable illnesses. Senator Chris Dodd, D-Conn., wants to turn these programs 
into a consolidated national effort. Fortunately, some newborn screening 
occurs in every state but fewer than half of the states including Connecticut 
actually test for all disorders that are detectable, according to Dodd who 
sees this legislation as providing resources for states to expand their newborn 
screening programs.

The problem of all this for Brase is that researchers already are looking for 
genes related to violence, crime, and different behaviors... This isn't just 
about diabetes, asthma and cancer, she said. It's also about behavioral 
issues. In England they decided they should have doctors looking for problem 
children, and have those children reported, and their DNA taken in case they 
would become criminals.

A senior police forensics expert believes that genetic samples should be 
studied because identification of potential criminals as young as age 5 may be 
identified, according to a UK published report. If we have a primary means of 
identifying people before they offend, then in the long-term the benefits of 
targeting younger people are extremely large, according to Gary Pugh, director 
of forensics at Scotland Yard. You could argue the younger the better. 
Criminologists say some people will grow out of crime; others won't. We have to 
find who are possibly going to be the biggest threats to society.

The UK database is already the largest in Europe with 4.5 million genetic 
samples, but activists want it expanded. Costs and logistics make it impossible 
right now to demand everyone provide a DNA sample, Pugh said.

Cognitive behavioral therapy is being suggested for targeted children from 5-12 
in the UK, says the Institute for Public Policy Research. Pugh has suggested 
adding children to this database in primary schools, even if they have not 
offended.
