Re: DNA Sampling in Schools
Is there really a need to get personal Neil? But then that’s what some people do when they don’t have a coherent argument to put forward.
Your analogy of the car registration number is not valid because car number plates can be sold on to another owner. DNA cannot! In any case the registration of a car number plate to a vehicle and the owner of that vehicle is a legal requirement backed by the laws of the land. There is no legal requirement to submit yourself to give a DNA sample and long may it stay that way.
garinda – you and others, have your opinion about DNA databases and I accept that you are entitled to voice it and put forward your arguments justifying your opinion. Quoting individual cases out of a population of some 60 million doesn’t do a great deal to get the ‘opposition’ to change their viewpoint. In fact it could be seen as scraping the barrel in an attempt to justify your opinion on the issue.
But I, and others who object to a DNA database, are equally entitled to utter their views on the issue and ne’er the two shall agree. Thus I would suggest that we agree to disagree.
