Is it true that a DNA sample is taken of all new borns?

And if this is true, who is in charge of this and who has access to this information?


Is it shared with insurance companies?Is it true that a DNA sample is taken of all new borns?
Yes, it's true. Bush signed the bill for it last year.





';With virtually no fanfare, President Bush signed into law a plan ordering the government to take no more than six months to set up a ';national contingency plan'; to screen newborns' DNA in case of a ';public health emergency.';





The new law requires that the results of the program – including ';information … research, and data on newborn screening'; – shall be assembled by a ';central clearinghouse'; and made available on the Internet.





According to congressional records, S.1858, sponsored by Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., was approved in the Senate Dec. 13, in the House April 8 and signed by Bush April 24.';

It's scary and Orwellian.Is it true that a DNA sample is taken of all new borns?
Each newborn born at a hospital has a blood test, which, of course, contains DNA. No insurance company has access to the sample and no genetic testing is done on the blood sample. Only the hospital where the child was born and the family have access to the results of the test (it has to do with the health of the newborn).
Yes, it is true. It went into effect last summer. This is in addition to the regular tests already done on newborns.

It was in newspapers last summer, but I guess people were distracted by other things.
No, I don't believe it's true. A lot of blood work is done but I don't believe it has anything to do with DNA testing of any kind. Why would they do that? It makes no sense unless there is a question of paternity.
I DONT THINK SO. MY BOY NEVER HAD IT DONE WHEN HE WAS BORN, BUT WHO KNOWS. I COULD SEE GOOD REASONS FOR THIS. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR WHAT MY FELLOW CONSPIRACY THEORISTS IMAGINE AS TO WHAT THE GOV. WOULD WANT THIS FOR. ~ CAPS~
100% false and I am there for hundreds of births a month. Who starts this crap?
