DNA cannot be thought of any other way whilst we continue to use it for personal identification.
We don't have another mechanism for protecting something uniquely identifying from tyranny.
Perhaps we should, especially as in this case others privacy may be co-dependent on myself, as you noted.
- maxerickson 8y agoIn the US we absolutely don't treat DNA as personal property. For instance, there's no need to get a warrant to follow you around and pick up something that you discard and then examine that object for DNA.
