Civil rights group sues New Jersey to stop secret storage, use of baby blood spots
“ Brian Morris, an institute attorney, told the New Jersey Monitor this week that he hopes their new lawsuit will force New Jersey to disclose all the ways it uses stored blood spots —and end its mysterious storage and subsequent usages of the spots, at least unless parents give their explicit, informed consent.”
@Smersh I can't imagine why the hospital or the state thought they could do this without informed consent.

I’m sure there’s some practical research benefit but without consent AND using the database to convict people is super shady.
