Clear invasion of privacy.
Next, they'll use the DNA to deny you medical care based on it revealing abnormalities or trends. "Sorry, we can't fix your bad knee because your genes are inferior and you'll die soon enough anyway."

Violation of personal privacy and could be seen as self-incrimination.
Planting hair and skin cells while not trivial is not all that difficult to do if your purpose is strong enough.
I would like to see a bill that would demand all collectors of DNA to return all such data and swear that all data identification has been destroyed and not stored in any media. It would be far too easy to get school kids to donate DNA on some pretext and have the police store said data forever, when no crime has been committed.
I believe that each citizen is required to know about their government and the individuals in it --- the converse however is not true. Government should know nothing about its citizens.
I foresee in not too distant future --- people to yield biometric data which will be used for voting. Under a Clinton medical plan --- your DNA would be used to ferret out all those who disagree with the Democrats.
By the way The senate bill S 1693 is up for debate --- a bill that allows your medical data to be open to everyone but you the subject of your data. Would you trust Bill Clinton with your daughter's medical data? Would you trust Kennedy with any data?

NOOOOOO way! Lawyers do a hell of a job letting criminals walk and innocent people rot in prisons so what would solid evidence like DNA do to a very expensive hot shot anyway?
Plus we come in contact with so many, we leave our skiin cells, hair and gential prints just about anywhere..whose to say a random sample wont be used to throw just anyone in prison just to close a case. thats just asking for more injustice and we all know how corrutpion can be at times.

Totally against it. Because it is an invasion of privacy.
Britian does that now, which is why they are a role-model for a socialist state.
The DMV shouldn't be allowed to use a thumbprint as an alternate form of ID either.
I'm also against major corporations having (or holding) my DNA information as well.

I agree with the invasion of privacy. But they are already doing this. One you are printed for any reason, these are retained, that is for a job, brackground check, military and so on. Even when you apply for a gun permit you are printed and it is in the system forever. This is already happening. That bein said, are we safer with it? No. Just cause they know who did what doesnt mean they can find them.

you can take my dna from my cold dead fingers.
our govt is not to be trusted with even basic things.
i'm thinking that each representative in washington should have a regular taxpaying citizen behind him/her with a ruler that they will swat them with each time they say something realy stupid.
trust the govt with a database of all dna?
good one...
