   Want to hear something nuts? #NewJersey takes a blood sample from every newborn baby and then *keeps it* as a DNA sample. Parents have to opt out, which requirers knowing about the practice. NJ has been sued, and has defended the practice in court, saying even though they've given the samples to police for cases, they promise not to do that in the future. 🤨

     @ColesStreetPothole Sweden has been doing the same since the 70s or so and it has been an absolute gold mine for medical science.

     But then in 2003 after the murder of Anna Lindh, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, they gave the police access to the DNA bank for the very first time and broke the trust forever. 😔

     @clacke Medical science here is paid for with tax dollars and then the treatments and care are sold back to the taxpayer at high prices through a private system. AND states have sold the information to various entities—Texas sold theirs to the Pentagon, for some reason. So, it's a hellscape herre.
