DNA database

May 7th, 2009 · Posted by Skuds in Life · 2 Comments · Life

Is there somewhere I can sign up to get myself on this DNA database voluntarily?  As long as it doesn’t involve needles of course.

I think I would be comforted by the idea that if something very bad happened to me and my headless torso got found in some bushes, the police would be able to identify me quickly…Basically,  my problem with a DNA database, and with ID cards come to that, is not that I think it is a bad idea per se, I just can’t understand why it is so high up the government agenda.

    Wouldn’t need DNA. We could just identify your torso by it’s gravitational field. :-D

    Oo, get him! Just because we are trying to diet he forgets he has the body of a god. Buddha.

    I was going to be a lot more charitable and just say that I’m sure your torso would be fairly distinctive.
