I didn't read the whole article, but I think that's a bunch of BS. Nobody should have your DNA on file, especially the gov.

Well from a privacy standpoint its disturbing. But what about this view....

Let's say you just had a new baby boy in SC. They take his blood as described and you choose to have them keep the sample on ice.

Ten years down the road a tradgedy happens. Your boy was killed. Thankfully you kept your son's DNA at the SC hospital. Because by this time you could re-create your son thanks to advanced DNA research.

Might sound a bit odd, but its just a thought. DNA research is advancing very well. They've even started work on DNA based computer chips........
