S. 1858: Establishment of National Newborn DNA Database

My blood pressure is beyond the roof!!!!

UN believable!!!!!!!!!

A quote from the article I just read:

According to congressional records, S.1858, sponsored by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., was approved in the Senate Dec. 13, in the House April 8 and signed by Bush April 24.
"Soon, under this bill, the DNA of all citizens will be housed in government genomic biobanks and considered governmental property for government research," said Twila Brase, president of the Citizens' Council on Health Care. "The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research."

DOESN'T ANYONE REALIZE THIS IS A EUGENICS AGENDA RE-PACKAGED UNDER A MODERN "NATIONAL SECURITY AND HEALTH" LABEL???? HELLO, HOW LONG BEFORE IT'S MANDATORY THAT WE ARE TOLD WE CANNOT REPRODUCE BEYOND CERTAIN GUIDELINES OF GENETICS???

THE MASTER RACE AGENDA HAS JUST BEEN JUSTIFIED BY "NATIONAL HEALTH CONCERNS" AND.......COST!!!

I don't usually shout here.

This is worth shouting about, and even more worth doing something about. Is it too late????

How long is it going to be before people have to have their babies in secret at home to keep their DNA from being public record, or worse yet, screened to pre-determine the unborn babies that are the "best health prospects," in order to weed out the less-desirables?

It sounds like I've gone off the deep end here...this sounds like one of those bizarre futuristic movies about genetic profiling, etc.

But it just got signed into law.
