This will be an unpopular opinion but we should index the DNA of every citizen.
The two objections are 1) exposing genetic health info 2) foreign countries can identify our spies.
For #1, I have news for you: insurance companies already build risk profiles of you, DNA profiles are not going to tip the balance of your premiums against what they already know. This ship has sailed. (and TBH if they didn't insurance would likely be even more unaffordable and out-of-reach than it already is)
For #2, I can't say.
But think of the benefits: how many more crimes would be solved? How many LESS innocent people would go to prison for crimes they didn't commit?
Plastic straws, browsing history and DNA indexing are white people problems, IMHO. Look at what it's like to be black in America in 2019: Botham Jean was sitting in his own apartment, eating ice cream, watching a ball game when a white off-duty Dallas police officer broke in and murdered him for no reason.
She'll be out of prison in 5 years.
The rise of body cams has the last 10 years has shown these types of incidents happen more frequently than we ever wanted to admit.
How many people are hurt in real life by things like DNA indexing? Please. It must be nice to be so rich to worry about frivolous non-problems like these. A national DNA index could keep a lot of innocent (mostly minority) people out of prison but oh no god forbid a white person be revealed to have a genetic marker for Alzheimers and their insurance premiums go up. The horror.
