Itrytoplease Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Did I hear right, on ITV news tonght school kids are gettng DNA tested to prove their not so diffrent from there class mates? Looked on the ITV web site including the local news and can't find a thing. If I didn't dream it, was consent asked, what happenes to the results once the project is over, -given to the police or what. Thin edge of the wedge springs to mind.

El Cid Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 They are teaching the kids that "there has never been more division in the world than today". How do they work that out? Today some parts of the country have more than 1/3 foreign born. How does that compare with 100 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Everybody should give a DNA sample. would cut the crime rate dramatically. why stop there ? Why not give everybody an ID card, like Bliar wanted ? Hell, just chip and neuter us all at birth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtkate Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Everybody should give a DNA sample. would cut the crime rate dramatically. And also make it quite easy to potentially set people up for a crime they didn't commit. DNA evidence is incredibly useful but no case would stand on it's own without other evidence. There have been some serious ethical compromises already with these DNA testing kits. One has clauses that allow them to use the data collected for research purposes and the company has been HEAVILY supported by Google...not sure I'd be ok with my data being used in that way.

Harrystottle Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 why stop there ? Why not give everybody an ID card, like Bliar wanted ? Hell, just chip and neuter us all at birth. Nah, bar coding us on the forehead. Much simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
