Do you think this has any merit or will turn into a farce like Star Naming?

ive thought about it, and actually gone into the center to pick up a package, but i didnt actually do it. there was a sign on the wall that had a certificate for contributing to the dairy industry, and my suspicions are that they do some sort of tests with dna mutations. i was a bit scared and i never went back. ill just use http://myheritage.com.

At least the government cannot yet compel this from us. No.

in California anyone who is convicted of a violent crime has to submit DNA into a database, the offenders DNA is then compaired to DNA evidence from unsolved crimes. Dont you just love forensics??

Every member of the armed forces has to submit DNA as well. But those samples and those collected from fellons as cheebdragon points out are sent to a completely different databases.

This is really a sticky wicket for me. I love the concept of what DNA could tell us about connections, but I sure don’t like the path you have to travel to get there…
