The Minnesota Supreme Court has announced that it will review the Baby DNA lawsuit filed March 11, 2009 against the Minnesota Department of Health for the State's collection, storage, use, and sharing of newborn DNA without parent knowledge or consent!
This is GREAT news!
As Randy Knutson, lead attorney for the nine families who filed the lawsuit, says: "The Minnesota Supreme Court has granted review of the case. This is rare, and important. It means that the [MN] Supreme Court has found it to be one of the few cases important enough for it to review and decide. We are confident that the Supreme Court will take a long, hard look at the DNA privacy rights of parents and children, as well as the conduct of the Minnesota Department of Health."
Mr. Knutson has requested our financial support. We need your help to raise $26,000 to underwrite key portions of preparing the case for the Supreme Court hearing.
A win for these nine families will be a win for every Minnesota family. Parents will be able to protect their children from becoming involuntary subjects of government genetic research. Parents will be able to preserve their child's DNA ownership rights. Parents will be empowered to say no to the government's DNA grab. A win will also help protect parent and child DNA and privacy rights nationwide.
