What's even worse that this is the PKU testing that's done on every infant born for probably the last decade. They heel prick the baby in the hospital and then require a follow up heel prick several days later. The doctor tells you it's so important so you will know if your child has a genetic disorder. Parents have later found out that the samples are not destroyed but are instead catalogued and kept! they have had to sue to have those samples destroyed. Why would anyone want to keep that type of information on every child born?
