Citizens’ Council for Health Freedom
Health Freedom Minute November 17, 2011
Baby DNA Win in Minnesota Supreme Court Welcome to the Health Freedom Minute. This is Twila Brase, president of Citizensʼ Council for Health Freedom. The Minnesota Supreme Court just ruled that the State of Minnesota is violating the state genetic privacy law by storing, using, and sharing blood taken at birth from every babyʼs heel. We call this Baby DNA. The state genetic privacy law requires written informed consent, but parents are not told or asked. Most donʼt know it went to the state. This ruling provides an opportunity for you to learn that state health departments across the country are engaged in storing, using and sharing newborn DNA for genetic research without parent consent. A list of which states are doing it and for how long can be found at our special baby DNA website. Go to www.itsmydna.org. Or go to healthfreedomminute.net and click on the photo of the baby in blue.
The Health Freedom Minute is now heard in 37 states: Mornings M-Th at AM1280 (The Patriot) in MN and 91.5 AM WHKC (FreedomFM) in OH and afternoons on American Family Radio.
