I still don't want the state have legal mandate to use a metaphorical knife and cut open my cells to quantify their contents. I think it's a very dangerous precedent to give control over one's body to someone else and to take personal consent away from the individual.

That you suggest there is no privacy violation, such as heredity, because you don't have the whole group of DNA abstracts, misconstrues how vast such a database could become over time.

Why are those arrested being targeted (in the ballot proposal), instead of everyone? That alone is discrimination before any legal judgements are rendered regarding guilt or innocence.

How much longer (months, years, decades?) before the state decides to use a literal knife instead of a metaphorical one to get, say, a heart or other organ a leader may need?
