Course Detail: BLOOD - Stolen Blood: The Government and Your DNA

Have you ever given your blood willingly or unwilling to a government agency or private company-an HIV test, your child's blood at the hospital, a blood-based sobriety test, or an at-home DNA test? Did you know there are potential legal issues with giving away your blood, your DNA? The government may store your samples in a database indefinitely, private companies may sell your DNA like any other "mailing list" to be used by other companies for tests or decisions on providing certain insurance coverage. Find out how you can avoid the legal pitfalls of giving away your DNA. See our sister course on scientific uses of DNA as well (309) "The Science Behind Your DNA."
