| Message | The current law is a national disgrace. Never should a government become so tyrannical that they hold the DNA of every citizen in the country. May we liberate ourselves from the police state. |
| Date | 04:40:59, May 09, 2012 CET | From | Beluz Democratic Karavist Party | To | Debating the dna |
| Message | The proposed law makes it more difficult to fight crime and identify bodies or persons if we need to. Having a federal DNA database is a good thing. It would be easier to register persons and their (biological) relations to others instead of going out of the way to run tests every second. Persons can recover relations with lost family members, including siblings, cousins, parents, etc. Anything can happen to break a family. It's also good to know your children won't come out deformed as a result of inbreeding. Too much DNA similarities will cause birth defects. A couple can avoid certain things by knowing they're too closely related. They can do DNA modifications on the child while it is in the womb, since they would have known of the possible birth defects earlier. They can also consider other child options, like insemination or adoption. Instead of redoing blood tests every second (except for voluntary disorder/disease checks), we can have a DNA profile stored for every citizen. All it will take is a drop of saliva or a strand of hair from every newborn, or a clipped nail from a young child. We wouldn't force everyone to start a DNA profile, but we would start a DNA profile for everyone new citizen (including newborns). Identification would be much easier. Children (post-toddler ages) would not be required to do this now. Adults would submit their DNA on a voluntary basis. -- Please choose words more carefully. Know the meaning of "tyranny" before you accuse the current system of modeling it. Tyranny is the leadership by a tyrant. A tyrant is an autocrat who rules in his own interest. This DNA law is not in the specific interest of any of the royal families, but more in the interest of the citizens. |

| Message | The House DeKarav argues in favour of a police state and in favour of eugenics? This is a disgrace! |

| Random fact: By default the head of government is the ultimate authority within a national government. In general terms, heads of government are expected to consult with cabinet colleagues (including those from other parties) before making significant decisions but they remain responsible for government action. |
