RE: Newborn DNA Collection Services: Where is the "Informed Consent"?
Yes it does. Here is a link on page 49 it says that they store it for 5 years...

I didn't see this reply I am so sorry I didn't get back to you.
I see thanks for the link, so my dna should be long gone now then. :)
No worries and I am glad you DNA is free and clear. It is a comfort for some to know that they do not have our DNA (mine is long gone as well ^^)
I don't think that them having my DNA is a problem because I don't want it haha.
If they really could detect them kind of problems maybe they could have stopped me from getting so sick over the past few years. don't get me wrong I am getting better now but you think they would have known.
You bring up a really good point that even I overlooked. Maybe they should have to provide proof of the testing that they are doing. You are not the 1st person that has made a statement about being sick later in life, so it does make me wonder what exactly are they testing for and is there a way that they can test for things that effect us later in life.
It's kind of scary to think that no one really knows what they are doing with it. if there was an oversight with my tests does that mean I can now sue for medical negligence.
I would like to think that what happened to me they could have stopped it in someone else.
don't get me wrong I am well now, just had a bad time of it from illnesses over my life.
You are right it is a bit scary. We have to rely on them to tell us what they are doing and telling us the truth has not been their strong point so far ^^. I am glad you are better now! I do know what it is like to have illness that last for a while. Now you have me wondering what are they testing for because I have had some family members that had issues that one would think should have been caught with such testing...
Where would we be able to find that kind of information out? it would be interesting to see what the government had to say about it, but like everything they say its 98% lies so would we believe them if they told us the truth anyway?
The only thing we could find is that they do genetic testing... to be honest even if they told us, I personally would not believe them. They have lied to us from the moment we took our 1st breath so why would they tell us the truth now? It was hard for me to come to terms with everything I learned in school was a lie. The more we have dug into things it the lies become so detailed that you actually question the truth.
