No, repeter is talking about research.
You seem to completely trust the government, I do not. When you give some people an inch they will try to take a mile.The government may decide that they do not want just a DNA database of people with specific genetic diseases, they may want a database of everyone for other purposes.They may go for something more than just DNA.
You seem to completely sure that the government is the root of all evils :roll:
Because of that, you are willing to lose out on all the benefits associated with government.
The premise for your entire arguement is flawed, the government is not always wrong, therefore, your arguement is wrong. It has a few good points, I'll admit, but its nothing more then fear-mongering.
Couldn't it be useful for catching criminals? Because if you know the DNA of everyone in the US, then you are more likely to solve crime.
I never said the government is always wrong or that they are the root of all evil. I do not trust the government to only use the DNA for so-called research and non nefarious reasons. I think the government will use this as a stepping stone to expand its power.
I would like to see a national dna database in the UK for many reasons, the primary one is to catch rapists.
So basically you do not trust them with anything.

If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear but fear itself.
was I gender specific j/rags, if you reply to me don't be, I used the term rapist to encompass all types of rape, only a twerp would not see that, and I don't think you are a twerp.How will DNA help catch rapist? The only thing DNA would prove is that they had sex not rape, unless you are talking about statutory rape. Rape cases is usually a matter of he said she said.
So basically you do not trust them with anything. Thats close enough to being evil, and wrong.
Much like organ donation, or donating your body to science once you die - shouldn't this be something that a person would have to donate?

I have been wrong before
unsolved ones Jam/Ragwell ****4brains please enlighten us as to which types of rape do you think a DNA database could solve that just rounding up suspects couldn't. I do not think you are a **** for brains but I have been wrong in the past before
