The DNA train has left the station.(Inside Track)(Deoxyribonucleic acid)(Brief article)
The passage of two recent bills--by both the Senate and the House, and the signing of those bills into law by the president -provides an object lesson in the workings of the state, and full illustration of the type of logic that must necessarily govern the actions of that coercive body.
The bills in question are known as the Newborn Screening Saves Lives Act and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA). GINA, which had been under discussion in one form or another since 1995, passed by a vote of 420 to 3 in the House and 95 to 0 in the Senate. Apparently, it gained some momentum in the 13 years it had been around.
