Excerpts from WorldNetDaily:
With virtually no fanfare, President Bush signed into law a plan ordering the government to take no more than six months to set up a “national contingency plan” to screen newborns’ DNA in case of a “Public Health emergency.”
The new law requires that the results of the program – including “information … research, and data on newborn screening” – shall be assembled by a “central clearinghouse” and made available on the Internet.
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.
The bill, she said, strips “citizens of genetic privacy rights and DNA property rights. It bill also violates research ethics and the Nuremberg Code.
“The public is clueless. S. 1858 imposes a federal agenda of DNA databanking and population-wide genetic research,” Brase continued. “It does not require consent and there are no requirements to fully inform parents about the warehousing of their child’s DNA for the purpose of genetic research.
>>Maybe one day in the not so distant future people will not only judge each other by class, sex and color, but also what deficiency you may have in your genetic sequence. How great will that be. I can’t wait for those days to arrive.
I can see it now, “Hey babe how you doing, you looking righteous today…uhm any chance you’ve got your DNA scan tron on your person, I wouldn’t mind comparing stats. You seem like a match, but you can’t be to careful this days…They just discovered a new cancer gene in the lower helix…”.
It took eight years for your individual freedoms to be removed right from under you without anyone even noticing. And this last salvo by this administration (to include the House and the Senate) may have been the real dozy’.
*laughs to keep from crying*
