"A group of 40 anti-abortion House Republicans had urged Trump to replace Collins. The group, led by Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana, argued in a May letter that Collins’ past support for embryonic stem cell research and comments on the moral status of cloned embryos should disqualify him from serving in an administration committed to anti-abortion policies.

invited to contribute to a massive new pool of genomic information being assembled by the government

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Of course it will all go directly into CODIS, but if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear, right?

[ptsal]

Is this gene pool data going to be matched with the NSA database and backed-up on Eric Schmidt’s cloud in N.K.?

[Steely Tom]

NIH wants 1 million Americans to contribute to new pool of gene data

I'm sure they do.

“I must politely decline your kind offer”.

[goldendelicious]

yeah they’ll use it to make the lame walk- to make the crippled whole. They’ll use it to hunt us down and kill us no thanks.

[Rurudyne]

Screw the government.

[wbill]

Figure that the people who register for this are the same ones who volunteer to be "chipped" for work.

There are plenty of useful idiots out there. However, their gene pool is only a discounted inflatable one from Dollar General, so there's not there to draw from. NIH will be disappointed with the results, I think.

[antidemoncrat]

This kinda sounds like a national data base for gun registration,

[Tench_Coxe]

They run out of money to run those Ancestry and MyDNA commercials?

[bluejean]

“the world of American folks”

What? Something about this homey, friendly little phrase makes the whole thing sound sinister. Like Snidely Whiplash is trying to be pals. I’ll pass.

[Paleo Conservative]

Maybe they could split costs with the NSA and FBI.

[moovova]

Yeah. Get the alcohol swabs ready...I’ll be right over.

[Bernard Marx]

Nope — I read “Brave New World” years ago and already know how this stuff ends.
