So Polish Jews, Russian Jews, American Jews, English Jews are all the same race? Using your rules I suppose all Roman Catholics are Italian then, or all Anglicans are English?

There are certain genetic markers that are unique to certain races. It may not be exact but they could use it for ethnic typing in an investigation.

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]However it is comforting that some people (the if you have nothing to hid you have nothing to fear people) are now rapidly changing their minds about a national DNA database for all. ----------------------------------- its a case of experts in certain fields presenting credible evidence, then i am always happy to change stance, on here its more often opinions,which i digest n make my own mind up at that point.;)

this is possibly a breach of human rights as not every one wants there dna to be taken,it also breaches the civil liberties act,why not do it when people give blood that is voluentery and it would kill 2 birds at once,

If people thought that their DNA would be registered in a National Database when they gave blood it could easily dry up the blood supply.

It wouldn’t surprise me to discover that this is already happening behind our backs.

No, in Jambutty's case it's his NHS dentist.
