Blood taken from newborns via a heel prick has been used in medical research without parental consent and given to law enforcement without a warrant. In some states, it’s stored indefinitely.
(LifeSiteNews) –– Most new parents have no idea that by the time they leave the hospital with their newborn, a sample of their child’s blood has already been sent to the state government. Depending on the state, the government may store and use their child’s blood for anywhere from months to indefinitely – and not only is it legal, it’s actually mandated by law.
Each American state has its own newborn screening program through which healthcare professionals who deliver babies are required to collect a blood sample in order to test for rare genetic or metabolic diseases. Only in two states, Maryland and Minnesota, are healthcare practitioners even required to obtain parental consent. Wyoming law technically requires parents’ “written consent,” but is worded vaguely enough that in practice, it amounts to a system that must be opted-out of rather than opted into. Utah allows a “religious exemption” that mandates the parents report their religion to the state – and it must be “a specified, well recognized, religious organization whose teachings are contrary to the testing required by Utah law for each newborn infant.”
this is great. if only it was more widespread we could do away with unknown perpetrators of crime. science gets better and better. soon you won’t be able to commit crimes and not be discovered.
And they could plant your DNA at a crime scene just as easily. Works both ways, Einstein.
