>The problem here is not the sharing of DNA information, but the incredibly poor resolution of the standard tests that are used in forensics. This seems like a goal post shift from 'DNA information alone cannot cause harm' to 'sharing of DNA information alone cannot cause harm', with the alone excluding all uses of DNA information. To me would be like arguing that giving everyone a nuclear bomb is not harmful, it is their use of the nuclear bomb that will cause harm. Or to generalize further, the harm is always the fault of the last event in a chain of events, and all events leading up to it cannot be blamed. To make another extreme comparison, violations of the 4th amendment related to searches aren't harmful, it is only the (mis)use of that information that is harmful. That isn't an argument I'm buying.
