Government Wants to Take Your Children's DNA and Not Have to Tell You About It

Government Wants to Own Future Generations DNA

Now the government even wants to own your very DNA and not even tell you they own it. Recently a oversight organization warned that there is a semi-covert movement by state and federal government to grab your DNA and claim ownership of every newborn child for the purpose of genetic
 research and here is the kicker......they are not even gonna ask you if its OK up front.

Right now in the state of Minnesota there is a bill in the hose and senate that would strip the need for informed consent that is now necessary under current law to do this. The Minnesota Department of Health wants to change this law to where consent is no longer necessary. In my opinion this is right in your face treason. For over one hundred years this country has been working against slavery all over the world and now groups in our government seem to incrementally want to make us all slaves again. I for one am not having any part of it. I call any elected official guilt of treason if they vote for this and think they should get the harshest penalty in the books for committing crimes of the highest order against all Americans.

According to the Citizens Council on Health care the state of Minnesota has illegally collected and claims ownership to the DNA of 780,000 children and has provided the DNA of over 42,000 children to genetic researchers without parental consent. Their report goes on to say that approximately 73,000 children are born each year in the state of Minnesota and about 4,200,000 are born in the United States of America and all of them will loose their genetic privacy and DNA ownership rights if this trend in public policy is allowed to continue.

Minnesota treats this procedure as an opt out program where parents of the newborn infant do not specifically opt out of the process, the state presumes it has informed consent and the parents have elected to allow this to happen. As it stands I'm not so sure that even parents should be given the right to decide the ownership of their children's most basic building blocks. Rearing a child is a joy and a responsibility and a privilege. Children are not something to be owned in any circumstance.

"The Seeker" is right; not only did the first two to comment seem to miss the meaning of the article, they were quite rude. Back to the topic... this should make any American's blood run cold if they only knew about it. The reason they get away with things like this is that people don't understand the implications or they care enough to speak up. Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

This is only one of the reasons I believe in home birth. Have your baby at home, don't apply for the SSN, and even forego the birth certificate if you really want privacy for your child. Home births are safe, women have been having babies since the begining of time without doctors in attendence. Alternatively, give birth in a nation other than the U.S. As long as we the people remain afraid of our government and follow unlawful/unethical orders we will continue to lose our freedom.

We've could call this The revenge of World War II. We're allowing all we saw there to happen here in our country and not doing anything to stop it. In terms of the age of civilized nations the USA is 2 years old not a teen-ager as some have characterized our 200 year old foundling nation.

I'd be worried what the gov't was going to do with the DNA. Say they keep a child's DNA. This child grows up to be somewhat of a trouble maker. The gov't has the DNA to frame this person. Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself or I'm paranoid. I don't think the gov't should do this either. Thank you for the warning.

You know it really is a pity that two of the three comments on this important article are more concerned with the spelling and grammer than they are the topic. It goes to show how skewed most people's priorities are today. And to Bob above who is the only one who made a legitimate comment. It is directly linked to slavery because when you 'OWN' any part of someone unwillingly or unknowningly it can be seen as slavery

Although I DO agree it is a huge human rights violation and should never be implemented (especially under the vail of secrecy), I dont understand how it is "slavery". The only direct link to anything slavery in this article is the mention of parents deciding wether or not to (figuratively) sell out their children. If , by the time I have children, this is implemented and there is no opt out, I would look into having my child born outside of a hospital but with a home-call doctor present.
