Letter: DNA danger
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: How much more efficient Hitler and his henchmen could have been, had DNA technology been available to them - such a simple way of identifying those of non-Aryan blood. Perhaps a database could initially have been built up by taking samples from persons merely suspected of having committed a crime and then progressing to the whole population. Jack Straw may not be driven by such sinister motives, but what of his successors?
