I think you're being a tad paranoid here. Why go to the bother and expense of tracking the identity of each donor? What difference could it make to any researchers?
As I said in my previous post (#12), I have mixed feelings on this topic, but I do believe that your response might be a little naive. When you get down to genetic research, EVERYTHING about the source cells is important. If there is an antibody that is of interest, lots of personal info could be needed to see where and why the exposure created it.
Worse still, is the truly OMNIVOROUS appetite for data that the coming Obamacare health databases seem to desire. If they want emotional and other such ephemeral data, blood research data would definitely be there. Master database, personal data, bribable government drone and what is worse, credit data stolen or health data that could be genetic which colors an entire family line?
Just those things to think on that are provoked by this topic!
Every vial and bag is bar coded. Cradle to grave, they know.
They have to, at least to a point. First - because of the extensive battery of testing done on the blood samples (those attached vials) for AIDS, Hepatitis, etc.) but also, sort of like a serial number in case something comes up later.
