Should we use DNA as a way of ID cards?

people would find life easer that way you think with people stealing our ID" s, and if we want to find family and finding the bad guys would be easer to whats not to like about it.

Should we use DNA as a way of ID cards?
At present technology doesn't exist to allow one to do this.





In addition identity fraud only makes up a tiny percetage of crimes. Only a vicious, out of control dictator would approve of storing everyones DNA and details on a big database "just in case" a small number of people get up to no good.





My DNA is my own. No-one else has the right to use it to tag or track me, any more than they have the right to use any other piece of biometric data.
Reply:Yes, people can not change their DNA.
Reply:Thats a good idea, I'd be down for that.
Reply:Sounds like a plot for a futuristic science fiction movie. As long as we could trust the government to do the right thing all of the time, then DNA card is a great idea.
Reply:If the technology for reading and storing is 100% reliable then this will work. At the moment, if the machine eats your ATM card you can go into the bank and show some other ID to get it sorted.





If the machine has a blip and doesn't like your DNA reading then you're going to struggle to produce something that's 'better ID' than DNA.
Reply:No way. I think the government already has too much control over our lives.
Reply:Definitely, that shouldn't take too long.
