I learned recently that the state of California collects DNA and blood samples from every newborn, post-1983, and stores it long-term somewhere. It's made available to law enforcement and researchers through some process or other. You cannot opt-out but you can request that the samples be destroyed. They'll even send you a letter assuring you that it's been destroyed. How kind of them.
