RE: Newborn DNA Collection Services: Where is the "Informed Consent"?
great truth article you have to create awareness with the puebra to check and eliminate doubts about the genetic status and health of the newborn, in Venezuela it is practically obligatory to give the baby the test of the heel puncture, of course that means that everyone performs your children is a matter of desicion of the parents but of conscience this test is very important.
No doubt that the testing that is done is important, some of these test have saved lives. In my opinion there is no reason for them to keep the samples after the test have been ran. If for some reason they need to re-test, they should arrange that with the parents. Our DNA is just that... ours no government should have access to it like they do.
You are right here it happens the same do not return the sample. The correct thing would be to return the sample to the parents. So what do they do? Take our kids from guinea pigs.
That is a really good idea. They run the needed test and give the card back to the parent... I just really have a problem knowing that they have these samples. I understand that they claim they only use them for research, however the government does lie. I keep asking myself what if they make a clone with one of these samples?
Exactly, it should be voluntary. They have no right to make assumptions or make calls for us. Sadly they think they own our DNA and I mean that literally. Left a link up top. Though I'm sure most of us know all about it.
No they have no right to do what they are doing, but yet they still do it. At this point I am unsure if people just don't care or do not understand what is wrong with this.
I think the biggest thing is that too care is too much work. Once you admit that you care, you don't feel right about yourself for not doing anything. And once you admit oh know, there's no going back. You can't un know that stuff. It eats at you. So it's easier to pretend it doesn't exist and do your best to forget. And luckily for them, they've been trained exactly how to do that for 12 year in government endocrination camps called schools. So they have all the right skills to do just that.
Now who is opening the can of worms (12 years of school) lol? You do bring up another good point...caring. For me, I cannot help but to care. I am a very compassionate person but I have learned that sometimes the only thing that I can do is let others know that this is what is going on. Personally I cannot pretend that something is not happening.
