RE: Newborn DNA Collection Services: Where is the "Informed Consent"?

in #humanrights7 years ago

I hate going to the doctor for any reason. Unfortunately, that is not possible. It is not a conspiracy theory to suggest that the government will use data it collects to do bad things at some point in the future, it is simply the way it has been since the first census was taken thousands of years ago. Furthermore, the assumption that the government will abide by any rules about storage or privacy that happen to be in place is simply naive. I tell my kids how to answer certain questions at the doctors office in an attempt to keep certain data out of their records, but it is a losing fight.
