Bush Signs Bill To Take All Newborns' DNA



quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
President Bush last week signed into law a bill which will see the federal government begin to screen the DNA of all newborn babies in the U.S. within six months, a move critics have described as the first step towards the establishment of a national DNA database.

Described as a "national contingency plan" the justification for the new law S. 1858, known as The Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act of 2007, is that it represents preparation for any sort of "public health emergency."

The bill states that the federal government should "continue to carry out, coordinate, and expand research in newborn screening" and "maintain a central clearinghouse of current information on newborn screening... ensuring that the clearinghouse is available on the Internet and is updated at least quarterly".

Sections of the bill also make it clear that DNA may be used in genetic experiments and tests.

Does the bill give a way to opt out of this at the birth of a child?

It's almost go time, people. Learn to farm, hunt, shoot a gun, dig a well, etc. When they decide to crash the economy it's gonna be hell on earth.

This bill does not do that, its gives government grant money for opt - in only screening for diseases. Its similar to how they already take your child's blood and check for diseases. This expands on that.
Although, I have no doubt a Pandora's box will come of it. Most people and hospitals will opt in and eventually it will be required or your hospital will make you sign a form allowing it before treatment.
I am NOT in favor of this, I am just saying - don't get all paranoid yet.
There was no counted vote taken (just a voice vote) but Ron Paul was the only one to make a statement opposing it

Screw them. I have 2 words: Midwife and Homebirth. In a normal pregnancy that's the safer route as well.
