| 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. This isn't only about crime prevention; the current law helps the Health sector. 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 consider other child options, like adoption, or insemination from a 3rd party male. It will also be easier to trace hereditary diseases in cases where adopted children don't know their biological parents. 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. -- Edwin Fertig, LNP Leader |
