Please have your DNA tested at any service such as Ancestry, 23andMe, FTDNA or MyHeritage...Then upload it to Gedmatch.
Victims will thank you.
No.
Meanwhile tens of thousands of rape kits go untested leaving rapists free on the street. Something is wrong with priorities
Yes.
AGREE!
Priority should be in testing those kits from cases - getting those results in the system!!!
Then as more people chose or by court have to give sample there will be all the more case test results in the system and matched leading to solved.
Much more silly to add innocent people and not get around to testing rape kits sitting in back log.
No way. Im not giving my DNA for free or paying someone to sell my unique dna footprint. Its mine. Its only mine and no one elses. So no.
I’m surprised that new born babies aren’t having their DNA taken and stored in a database..........Maybe they are and we just don’t know about it.....
Do any of the services honor privacy, and not say they have rights to your DNA?
I’m appalled that so many rape kits went untested. But I’m a little confused you would want to give murderers a free pass to get it done?
You can opt out with gedmatch. But a warrant trumps that.
No kids huh?
So will the elite who need an organ donor, willing or not.
Hell, no. It can be used for good; it also can be used for evil. I’m pretty sure random employees in these places shouldn’t have access to genetic material, which can be used to frame someone.
How so? Genetic DNA POINTS to an individual then new DNA tests confirm or reject the match.
Could you point out where I said murderers should get a free pass?
One other important point, and the article doesn’t mention it, how much time and effort went into this case? Could a rape have been solved for the same time and effort? 10 rapes? Or a 100 rapes?
Third, the rapists are probably still out on the street committing more rapes, why wouldn’t you want to stop them? 100 rapes, 1,000 rapes?
They only got half.
Think about it. God gave you and me a very unique gift. Our DNA. It drives our physical and non physical attributes. No one else has it. Its a true gift and its yours and yours alone. Why would I pay someone to take it and database it?
It wont be long before the can just print your dna out. Dump it on a crime scene or deny you a job, healthcare, insurance.... based on something people are paying $ to give away. Dumb imho.
“How so?”
An actual case was about a woman who had a “civilian” job in a police department where fingerprints were taken and stored. She killed her husband in their car. Before that, she had somehow taken a couple of fingerprints of a person who had been arrested, and transferred them to the car door handle (IIRC, tape was involved). The guy was arrested.
She finally got caught, but she had done a pretty good job framing an innocent person.
Anyone with access to DNA could do something similar. Easily.
