I’ve read elsewhere that most of the DNA tests only give results on some parts of DNA and that being, I wonder how truly completly accurate is this stuff? when they say 90 (or whatever) % match, if it’s not testing all parts of DNA then what if all those other portions don’t match at all but that is not known because the DNA is not fully tested?
kinda like a puzzle where the one side of a piece fits and you work much of the puzzle believing that piece is correct but hours or days later you realize that piece doesn’t fit on other sides and you have to remove it to make the actual whole puzzle come together properly.
While doing some good, there is also likely some bad happening due to DNA testing and usages and claims. I think there is some deception/in accuracy in the testing and in the results given to people.
A corollary is that it will all be accessible with only your personal details.
Even if you haven’t had your DNA sequenced, your genetic vulnerabilities will be predicted from your relatives and will be on your file with all the other stuff.
And all this will be datamined to hell and back in order to reverse-engineer human DNA so that it can be ‘improved’.
A nightmare, but also the inevitable future.
Sorry. I cant see where a DNA database is any more threatening than the advent of photography.
I have a clueless brother and sisterin-law that did this.
maybe see the article last eve posted on FR about scientists altering mice to make two female mice reproduce, can’t do that sort of stuff with just photos, but can do it monkeying around with DNA and a database allows access to all sorts of similar maybe seemingly good but truly harmful events to people and animals.
I guess its like someone acquiring/having your relative’s photograph or fingerprints and then being able to identify you and your actions through their photographs and finger prints.

It they sample DNA at birth and build a database, going forward, criminal ID will become infinitely more precise. We can also use it as voter ID to eliminate imposter voting.
How am I going to commit the perfect murder?
Navy Seals with gills!
And this woman could become a real cat...
Do you seriously believe the Deep State will use it for good? LOL!
I can see how you could be identified relative to your family.
Ive yet to hear a credible explanation on how it can identify your actions other than rape.
Why isn’t Google active in DNA testing and archival? Or, more likely, when will they admit it?
Wouldn’t that be a great addition to your comprehensive data profile?
We had my twin daughters’ DNA tested. One was having medical problems. It was cheaper to see if they were identical twins than having other tests. They are identical. It was worth it for us.
Traced back to the year 1000?! Have to admit that is pretty neat!
If you don’t leave dna, they couldn’t identify you from your relative’s dna. I guess it would be whatever they could get at the scene of crime that leaves a viable dna sample.

if you told people 20 yrs ago that the govt was going to make everyone submit dna samples there would have been an uproar....
Of course not. But taking a sample at birth WILL become routine and fully compliant physicians will cooperate. It is an inevitable result of government administered health care. Im simply pointing one instance where the good guys can push back that will sound reasonable to normal Americans.
“The LA Times doesnt give a rats ass about your privacy, they care that it will be easier to catch criminals; murders, rapists, etc.”
No, they don’t. They care about liberal dominance and control. The LA Slimes is an extreme left-wing bird cage liner as hell bent on totalitarian control as any liberal.
Let’s just say your past could come back and surprise you. He or she may want to introduce them selves and in some cases it might come with a bill for back child support, I’ve no doubt some lawyers are already working on this. Making claims for part of an estate could be another one they’re looking at. It also removes anonymity from sperm donors or those giving up a child for adoption which opens up another can of worms.
