The article states that parents can request the blood spot sample to be destroyed. A link is given. You do have the right to ask the biobank to destroy the leftovers after the fact, though the agency's website states it "may not be able to comply with your request." Following the link, I saw no evidence that parents can request destruction of the sample. Instead, this is what I saw: You have a right to ask the Newborn Screening Program not to use or share your or your newborn’s information and/or specimen in the ways listed in this notice. However, we may not be able to comply with your request. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CFH/DGDS/Pages/nbs/nbsnpp.aspx https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CFH/DGDS/Pages/nbs/nbsnpp.a... I also haven't been able to find information on the process a parent can follow to get the sample destroyed. Not using a sample is not the same thing as destroying it. What am I missing?
