"UK: Put children on DNA list, urge..."
Theodore Kazcynski would approve.
Guardian said:
Pugh admitted that the deeply controversial suggestion raised issues of parental consent, potential stigmatisation and the role of teachers in identifying future offenders, but said
society needed an open, mature discussion on how best to tackle crime before it took place
.
Sounds promising. Go Strong AI, remove potential offenders through any means necessary!
I wonder what the chances are of the UK actually getting rid of their current genetic database? Yes, how harrowingly strange it is that such public votes never seem to take place... The same phobia of primitivism appears valid for moves toward economic globalization, e.g. the Euro.
