It would be a huge scientific loss to discard collected genetic material. We should be cataloging all DNA that we can, not just from humans but from crops we grow and ecological marker species that proxy ecosystem health. You never know if there will be some test uncovered in the future that you could use against these previously collected samples and make some life saving inferences. When you throw that data away, you've eliminated that possibility forever and damned future scientists.
