DNA gathering from schoolchildren?
It was recently on the news that the powers that be were going to gather DNA from school children without parental permission. While I dont mind one side of it, if a child goes missing, it will help to find said child. I dont think they should put the dna into storage files as I feel its an infringement of rights.
How do other people feel about it ?
Answers:
You state infringement of rights , well to that matter , what rights , it looks as we no longer have them , as the Govenment have over all control , as to what we can and can not do ,
As for DNA , and taking it from children , they are using the school system , as a way around the law , you see while your child is at school , the school has the responably for your child , and as such , could give permission for such a thing to go on.
As for the rights and wrongs over the matter , Yes there are points that are on the side of doing this , as you state , but it should be up to parents to agree to this action , and not the schools , as they are part of the system
The System has been infringing our rights for years , and as every time they get away with doing so , as in the hunting ban , smoking ban , speeding camera's etc , they push there levels higher , and they will only stop when one or two things happen ,
The first thing , they will contiue , taking our rights away untill they have everyone , wearing a label , with as much information as they seem fit for us to carry around , such as a dog coller / ID tag
Or the public , stand up to the Govenment and remind them that they only have there power , which is given to them by the same people that they are trying to dictate too,
The Govenment can only control , if those who they are controling let them do so
The idea of Govenment , is for a body of people to serve , the public in matters of runing the country , keeping order and to look after the well being of the public ,
If you've got nothing to hide then why complain. Same as identity cards for everyone. Would cut down on so much fraud and too many do gooders out their talking about human rights !
I would find out the first thing I need to do to make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that no DNA evidence is collected from any of my children without parental permission!!!
Once it is collected, there have been too many examples of the evidence being "lost', "misplaced", etc.
the DNA could keep an innocent person from going to prison in the future
Definitely not acceptable.
They have no right to touch your child without your permission.
DNA is not 100% acurate, human error could lead to a person being wrongly imprisoned, based on DNA evidence alone.
If anyone touches my daughter without my consent, for ANY reason, they will get a good beating no matter who they are.
I don't feel comfortable with people I don't know getting my kid's DNA. It feels like they're trying to enlarge their DNA database so that if myself, husband or kids (or their kids) get into trouble in the future they can get charged more easily.
I have enough hairbrushes with my kids hair at home and their toothbrushes for DNA if they want to use it to find my child.
aaaaaanger.couple to this scientist claim they can tell who is going to be a criminal from childhood, also the information will be sent to brussels, to use at their convenience, the people that are ordering this are traitors and liars, in controle of our lives, also dna is not foolproof in the hands of corrupt organisations, if you scratch your hand on a wall one can take the d.n.a. put it at the scein of a crime and get fitted up just like with fingerprints. dont forget ever, its in the hands of traitors . why havent they discovered who are going to be liars
so we can keep evil traitors like these from going into politics.
NONONO!! another labour OUTRAGE.
It´s all very sinister. The government is also considering taking biometric data such as retina scans and holding these on a database - they now have the technology to scan your retina from CCTV, also.
Back in the 1960s crime was far lower, and society more decent. So obviously we can live in a pleasant society without CCTV and DNA databases.
Personally I´d rather run the gauntlet than live in a Big Brother society...
I do mind, and I am also tired of the argument that states, "if you have nothing to hide". It is yet another step toward a Totalitarian regime, and we have already experienced many other similar tactics by this Government.
We should be very careful about accepting this sort of behaviour, because they always find an apparently plausible excuse for introducing an initiative like this, which tends to seduce the naive/innocents into acceptance. It is their ultimate intention that we should be wary about. Identity cards, DNA requirement with passport applications, Police demanding DNA from people who have committed only very minor offences. Taken together, these examples tell us something, don't they?
Politicians are our servants, not the other way around. We need to be on guard, not only against politicians et al, but also naive members of the public who don't understand what our ruling classes are up, and consequently, may sell us down the river.
Exactly how would it help to find a missing child? The child's DNA in a database is no good without a "suspect" sample to compare it against so it would do no good at all unless a sample (e.g. of saliva or blood, or a body) was available. If you did have a sample, you could still compare the DNA in the sample to the DNA of close relatives - such as parents or siblings. It is possible to determine whether 2 people are related to one another by comparing their DNA. If you saw the TV programme (in the UK) "So you think you're royal?", they used this technique to examine claims to royal connections.
I would be utterly opposed to this plan and would do anything in my power to prevent my daughter's DNA from being collected.
It's called BIG BROTHER under the guise of "caring for members of society". Just another nail in the coffin of privacy & freedom
