War es wirklich?

Das Nuffield Council on Bioethics aus Großbritannien hat einen Bericht herausgegeben, in dem es u.a. vor der anlasslosen Erfassung von DNS-Daten warnt. Darin fordern sie Dinge, die ich bisher für vollkommen selbstverständlich gehalten hatte, wie etwa:

Volunteers, including victims and witnesses, should be able to have their DNA removed from the National DNA Database at any time without having to give a reason.

oder auch

Police powers should not be extended to allow police to take and store bioinformation without consent from people arrested for ‘non-recordable’ offences, which include littering and minor traffic offences, as is being currently proposed by the Home Office.

WTF?!
