I think the Goverment should have information on all citizens including

If a person has nothing to hide it can only be of benefit.
It will help keeping details on known and suspected criminals.child abusers
terrorists.drug dealers.tax evaders. benefit cheats. bigamists. The list is endless. if you are a good honest citizen I D cards will be of benefit.

There's a little problem with ID cards containing DNA information kept by our government. You have no idea what their real intentions are or wether they will sell/pass on those details to anyone and everyone. I for one do not want just anyone having my DNA information to manipulate or clone as they see fit. It only takes one unsavoury character to get that information and next thing you know the police are at the door because they have found your DNA at a crime scene. There is also the issue that DNA can be used to track people who have health problems. To my mind that is giving the government an open door policy to dictate in the future wether such people should be allowed to carry on producing offspring and don't think it can't happen either.
