• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I am thinking a worldwide(with countries that work with us at least) DNA database.
We can limit immigration to only countries that participate in the DNA database.
It could help with missing Children in the future, if for example when a child grows up and joins the military or goes to the hospital.
It could help with organ donations and blood.
Identify genetic problems early after birth(before birth opens the abortion can of worms, objections).
It may cut down on crime -- a person knows if they leave any DNA behind.
The DNA markers could replace most forms of personal id making id theft a thing of the past.
It could be taken at Birth, Anything to do with Government, Starting School, Getting a Driving License, Doctor's Visit, Hospitalization of any kind.
It may cause lower medical costs by catching problems early.
A larger database may improve medical research in critical areas.
Knowledge of one's DNA may improve one's health.
And, I am sure insurance companies would love having the data.
I think the privacy standards can be kept in place.
I guess one's SSN & Birth date & Personal Passwords, could be the link to the data for a person.

I am sure they would - it would give them great information to deny coverage to those of higher risk.

The privacy laws, rules would still be in effect. They would get summary information, not individual.

Laws can be changed, and questions can be asked. I have little faith in privacy laws.

...

I don’t like that idea. It could be used for many evil things and would be harmful for the freedom of people.
