The two (in Ireland at least) are too intertwined to deal with as a separate issue. The Irish Nationalists (or Republicans), who for the most part identify as Roman Catholic, want a unified Ireland which would be presumably Catholic. The Unionists, who are predominantly Protestant support the UK continuing its governance of Northern Ireland. The religion and cultural identity of these groups are virtually inseparable. To a Nationalist, a Protestant is a Unionist and a Unionist is a Protestant. To Unionists, the same is true.

Well..... As recently as the 1990's Catholics and Protestants were killing each other in Northern Ireland. They still are telling each other to STFU. I'm not sure what the Pope has said in regards to it recently, but there has definitely been Catholic/Protestant violence in our lifetime.

I would only object to the 5th use of my DNA, as it violates the 4th Amendment. The rest, have at it.

The basic tenets of your argument are sound however. I realize that while I may be quite free with my limits on DNA use, others may not. The question remains that did these people give informed consent to just diabetes or as a earlier poster claims to a broader collection of genetic disorders. Based on not RTFA, I can only speculate.
