I share some of Sarah's concern. Because of what I do and have always
done I see the immense benefit of this database. I suggest that the
benefits we see published are just the tip of the iceberg.
I would be happy to provide my DNA for inclusion on the database but
understand the concern that many have.
The concerns I think are similar to the ID Card. I don't have any
problem with it and have a pocketful of them depending what head I am
wearing that day.
I suggest that one of the questions that the powers to be should ask
while considering this problem is:- Would the government abuse it? Well
for me that is a no brainer.

Subject: Re: DNA Database
I did feel mildly torn on this issue. I want to be in a world where
rapists and murderers can be identified quickly, where criminals can be
brought to justice on the strength of solid evidence. But then I realise
that this is an almost utopian view. I agree that there is no way we can
effectively manage and support such a massive endeavour, its far too
expensive and logistically impossible to fully populate. Plus, I'm not
guilty of any crime...why should I have to submit my biological identity
to an insecure system and risk a whole host of unthinkable mistakes!
My DNA is my castle....no-one is getting in!
