<h1>New on ISN: Genetic Testing of Citizens Is a Backdoor into Total Population Surveillance by Governments and Companies</h1>

<div><p><i>Independent Science News</i> has just published: “<b><a title="Link to ISN website article: Genetic Testing of Citizens Is a Backdoor into Total Population Surveillance by Governments and Companies" href="http://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/genetic-testing-of-citizens-is-a-backdoor-into-total-population-surveillance/" target="_blank">Genetic Testing of Citizens Is a Backdoor into Total Population Surveillance by Governments and Companies</a></b>” by Helen Wallace, PhD, Executive Director of GeneWatch UK.</p>
<p>Why is Britain’s Health Service (the NHS), which is legendarily short
of money, nevertheless willing to spend hundreds of millions of pounds
to collect and store DNA, and build electronic health databases? The
official answer is that these databases will benefit population health
and reduce costs in the long term. Yet this official explanation has
negligible scientific support. Ongoing research indicates that genetic
inheritance plays only an occasional role in health outcomes and is
largely irrelevant to common diseases. Nor, even when such groups can be
identified, are there benefits in separating populations into high and
low genetic risk groups. So, are Britain’s gene database projects
attributable to common misunderstandings about the power of genetics to
determine disease risk? Or are they stealthy attempts to partner with
pharmaceutical giants and genomics companies? Or even attempts to
complement surveillance information gained in other ways?</p><div> <br></div><p>Read the complete article on <i>Independent Science News</i>: <b><a title="Link to ISN website article: Genetic Testing of Citizens Is a Backdoor into Total Population Surveillance by Governments and Companies" href="http://www.independentsciencenews.org/health/genetic-testing-of-citizens-is-a-backdoor-into-total-population-surveillance/" target="_blank">Genetic Testing of Citizens Is a Backdoor into Total Population Surveillance by Governments and Companies</a></b>.</p>
