California law says genetic testing companies have to get your permission before they store, use or sell your DNA, but the state itself doesn't have to get your permission and has been storing DNA samples from every baby born there since the '80s. Lawmakers want to change that, but face an uphill battle.

    Hmm… Wonder if it’ll be easier to chip every newborn, or barcode the back of the neck?

      I think that obedience collars would be great for reducing crime.
