Passing the House of Representatives on a voice vote, S. 1858 has been sent to President Bush for signature. The Newborn Genetic Screening bill was passed by the Senate last December. The bill violates the U.S. Constitution and the Nuremberg Code, writes Twila Brase, president of the Citizen’s Council on Health Care (CCHC). “The DNA taken at birth from every citizen is essentially owned by the government, and every citizen becomes a potential subject of government-sponsored genetic research,” she states. “It does not require consent and there are no requirements to inform parents about the warehousing of their child’s DNA for the purpose of genetic research. Already, in Minnesota, the state health department reports that 42,210 children of the 780,000 whose DNA is housed in the Minnesota ‘DNA warehouse’ have been subjected to genetic research without their parents’ knowledge or consent.”
The federal government lacks the Constitutional authority as well as the competence to develop a newborn screening program, states Rep. Ron Paul, M.D. (R-TX). He states that all hospitals will probably scrap their own newborn testing program and adopt the federal model, whatever its flaws, to avoid the loss of federal funding.
“Drafters of the legislation made no effort to ensure that these newborn screening programs do not violate the privacy rights of parents and children,” Dr. Paul noted.
Ms. Brase has called on President Bush to veto the bill.

We’re scared of terrorists. We’re scared of criminals. We’re scared of the sun. We’re scared of the rain. We’re scared of dogs. We’re scared of cats. We’re scared of foreigners. We’re scared of the dark. We’re scared of drugs. We’re scared of people of differing religions -which means each other. We’re even scared of each other.
Won’t somebody help us???!!!!!
Who cares about privacy, rights, ethics or personal dignity.

I agree with Mr. Linson- The last generation to pass lived during the end of WWII. Dark days aren’t coming, they are here, right under our noses. Who can honestly tell me there is one federal politician without dirt on his/her hands?!! Brace yourselves.
I am continually shocked and appauled by the horrific crimes our government is allowed to carry out. I am even more concerned about the people who are going along with things like this basically out of fear or greed. I am however, greatly comforted in the knowledge that nothing happens outside of the sight of God. I stand firm in my faith and await the day in which Our LORD and Saviour will hold accountable those who oppose God and His holy laws. Yes, evil is thriving in the world today. But, the Kingdom of Heaven is near!! “Our redeemer lives and in the end He will stand on the Earth. Every knee will bow before the maker of Heaven and Earth. The wicked will perish and stand condemned already.
Grace and Peace to you. Love will conquer a multitude of sins.” In the mean time, protect your children as best as you can, live a blameless life amoung all, do good and not cause harm…let the peace of God, which surpasses worldly reason, be your guide. And stand up for your rights while you are still able to do so. Wake up people!
