Comment dna fingerprinting (Score 1) 17
sadly the US has all ready started figerprining. All US military service members have dna samples taken in boot camp. This is being done under the guies of remains identification reasons ie: so that no one else must be inturned in the tomb of the unknown soldier. Which that into itself is not a bad thing but it sets a precident and could easly spill out into the civillian world. And dna samples taken while i the military could be used against a service member after the get out of the service. With the human genome almost completly docummented the potiental for genetic discrimination is a real one; think the movie GATTAC there must be legislation setforth before dna figerprinting is done wholescale. As a service member I would hate to have my service to my country rewarded by being discriminated because a gentic defect that was only known because of the military's dna record of me.
I shall step off my soap box now and get back to work.
