I wouldn't have a problem with it, but it's not going to to discourage criminals who could care less. How about revamping the drug laws and prison system first? Make room for the more violent criminals by releasing anyone who's comitted a victimless crime. Those poor f**kers have a better basic cable TV package than I do.
It's the thin end of the wedge, mate. I'll keep my illusions of freedom...
Seems like it would make it easier to frame someone.
You could also say that we should put video cameras in everyones house, if you have nothing to hide why worry? They should keep track of the DNA of all convicted criminals, and the FBI does that with the CODIS system, but leave the innocent citizens out of it.
No, because it would inevitably get used for other -- less acceptable -- purposes, in a matter of time.
Yes, i have no problem with that

Though part of me would have a problem with it, I have to accept the reality that said system is far closer to being in place than any of us woud like to believe. I just got back from a short stay in the hospital, and one of the doctors treating me put out a request for some of my older med files via computer. Despite those records being from New Jeresy and alomst fifteen years old, POP the results, within twenty seconds, based on nothing more than a base-line DNA profile.
no way.
My DNA does not belong to the government. I'm very strongly opposed to this idea. It's like something out of 1984. I agree with herzog on this one.
I wouldn't have any problem with it & it might give us a safer country.
Safer from criminals on the streets in cases like rape etc. I mean
Well, EG, having tracking devices implanted in our bodies would also make us a safer country, but that doesn't mean that we should do it. There are a lot of things that can be done to make this country safer, but there are ethical boundaries that must be taken into account.
