Everyone should know that if you were born in a hospital in the US, they already have your dna. There's no protecting it. They mandate a pku on every newborn. The sample is picked up, taken away and stored at the state level. I believe this has been since the 50's.
Years ago when I was somewhat still sleeping, I bought into the 23 and Me. I got my mother-in-love one and my husband one. I remember watching my mother in law (who would have been in her late 80s at the time) read all the fine print and deliberately not initial/sign the section that would put her in a database of some sort, to ostensibly connect with other relatives in the world. She said she had her will written and wasn't about to change it, lol. Turns out she was more awake than me back then.
I did the same thing but I needed it to save my life. I have no regrets. I also did it back when they were a brand new company, long before the obama administration temporarily shut them down. When I got in you could ask them to destroy the sample. In the end there's no way for me to know if they honored that agreement, but I think most of the shady shit happened after obama shut them down, made changes, then allowed them back up to sell their tests again.
I know what pku is, and believe me, I've already been through all this. I've known about it for 10 years. They have my daughter's sample. They didn't get my son's because I gave birth to him at home and told my midwife I will NEVER do pku, and I informed her what is being done to it so she started alerting all her patients. You can start here. https://biononymous.me/newborn-dna-storage-raises-serious-privacy-concerns/ If you dig you'll find old news reports from parents trying to get their kid's samples destroyed and how impossible the state is making it for them. A lot has already been scrubbed though. It's much harder to find this info today than it was 10+ years ago when it was openly reported by the local news.
I think with a database like that, they could clone anyone. With the information the average person has given to Facebook, they could simulate a person's life without anyone noticing. Use that to program their clone and then send them out to do their nefarious deeds. I suspect famous people would be first picks due to their effectiveness getting people to follow the "stars". But anyone who was getting too much of the wrong attention (in DS eyes) would be subject to being cloned with the original disposed of, if this is something they do.
We tecently had our son, rejected all shots / tests except potassium k because they guilt tripped the hubby... They seemed less anal about the shots / tests this time around with our last child... I assume that means we didn't do this pku? Or did I miss something?
This was four months ago so perhaps they no longer require this?
I always thought they did this tbh because I was born at home, didn't get a "birth certificate" until three years later, and when I went to deploy in the military they almost denied me deploying due to this "delayed" birth certificate. Not sure if they're connected but I always suspected it could have been because of not having my DNA from when I was a baby... Not sure, couldn't make sense of it otherwise.
I had to laugh because there's an opt-out card you can fill out -- and I kid you not -- if you opt out, they still hold your blood sample for 100 years before destroying it, but pinky promise they're not doing anything with it.
I was like wtf. You opt out... yet they keep it for 100 years?

Protecting it means don’t get these MRNA and other DNA altering shots you dingus.
Yes, that's the context in which the Q post was posted.
However, I also stay away from those genetic tests because I always suspected there was an ulterior motive behind them.

Interesting..

The pku isn't a shot, they call it the heel prick, they are taking a blood sample from each infant.

Lol, yeah and in some states you don't even get the fake opt out option, they just tell you that you have no choice.
