Iceland to be the test place for a genetic population research database. DNA to be collected from all persons which will be placed in a databased and paired with their medical records, for the purpose of research into the genetic role of disease.

Pardon me, but I've conducted research into the role of the percentage impact that positive family history has on the manifestation of various disorders, and these results are easily obtained by interview.

Yes, yes, I make it that it's another step down the line to removing our free will and civil liberties, and tagging us as criminals/bad insurance risks/politicians from before we are born, even assuming that our genes measure up enough to get us that far.

Hospital Lawyer: "Mixed news this month, Mrs Miggins. Foetus #0028A is most likely to become a banker, we estimate a branch manager, but foetus #0028B is going to be a serial killer. We estimate, oh, about eleven victims."

Mrs Miggins: "That's OK, erase that 28B, and we'll just go with little #0017A. That's the best so far."

I also make it that it's so far OT that this thread deserves to be terminated right now.

Hokie,

Here is another link in this subject chain> http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=001vnX <

Smartcard-bioChip-world govt.-echelon-global warming-WTO-etc.. All that is one piece/chain. America, the Constitutional Government is in the way of `the plan'. Have to get it out of the way.

Is that what Y2k is about really? BTW, Iceland is "old" news. Just think how far we have come since then!! Another BTW-It was FORCED ON the population. No choice.

`Mornin Collin, ya old grouch:)
