I don't think our civil rights would be infringed. The only people who would object would be the criminals and the heedless men who don't want to pay for thei own offspring.

Im sorry but i really object to it. If I handed in my DNA now and if they could run it against ah existing database of unsolved crimes im sure they wouldn't find anything, and yet im completly against this being put in to action.
If you use the logic of 'only people against it are those who have commited crimes' I can quite easily apply it to the following:
Chipping everyone so you know where they are 100% of the time. Having video cameras in everyones house. Of course, nothing will be done unless you break the law, and then you deserve it... but thats really not at all the point. I certainly would not like my privacy infringed in such a way, and yet it uses the same basic argument.
Ps. Im not *completly* disagreeing with the DNA Database PLAN. But I am disagreeing because the government or somebody else could easily misuse such a mass database.
