A pending bill on the floor of the Minnesota House and Senate will strip citizens of genetic privacy and DNA ownership rights. Today, a state genetic privacy law requires informed parent consent for government testing, ownership and research on the DNA of the newest Minnesota residents. The Minnesota Department of Health wants to eliminate the informed consent requirements. A bill to remove consent requirements for government ownership and genetic research will soon be voted on by the Minnesota House and Senate.
Thus far, the state of Minnesota has illegally collected and claims ownership to the DNA of 780,000 children (soon to be voting adults) and has provided the DNA of 42,210 children to genetic researchers without parent consent. Approximately, 73,000 children are born in Minnesota every year. About 4.2 million children are born across the nation. All of them are losing their genetic privacy and DNA ownership rights. Listen in to an interview of Twila Brase, president of CCHC, as she discusses what's at stake for all citizens in the pending legislation

*"The Senate just voted to strip citizens of parent rights, privacy rights, patient rights and DNA property rights. They voted to make every citizen a research subject of the State government, starting at birth.
They voted to let the government create genetic profiles of every citizen without their consent."

yep, they all want us to be snowplow drivers or teachers union stooges.
In the future, if a parent wants to raise a free citizen, they will not be able to deliver the baby in a hospital anymore.
Looks like me and my future wife’s going to give birth in South Dakota.
The basic indicator of liberty is that a free person owns his own body and owns his own work. Now the State claims a property right to the essential code of each unique human.
When someone else has a superior claim to a basic part of you, it changes the nature of your relationship: you are no longer free, even if the State allows you almost all the the trappings that the citizen was previously used to.
If the people of MN do not drive a stake through the heart of this affront to liberty, they should not be surprised when other slavery predicates follow as surely as night follows day.
Good luck, TypeZ.
South Dakota has the disease as well. Too many MN people moving there. They’ll be a big government state before long. Lots of people there still believe in freedom but they’re getting overwhelmed by the Minnesotans moving there.
SD is where I grew up and went to college. It’s been a couple of decades since I lived there, but I visit the parents every month and it’s coming.
Scary stuff. Orwellian, at best.
Keep your laws off my body.
The right to privacy .........

Home school and home birth.
They want to be in every room of your house (except the bedroom) and every cell of your body.
