Chinese authorities have been gathering DNA samples across Tibet, including from kindergarten children without the apparent consent of their parents, Human Rights Watch has said.
In a new report released on Monday, the rights organisation claimed new evidence showing a systematic DNA collection drive for entire populations across Tibet as part of a “crime detection” drive.
gotta say: not a big fan of the worldwide effort to prevent crime before it happens by treating everyone as a criminal preemptively and going from there!
Especially when they even target kindergarten children without parental consent. It could also further open the door to mass discrimination.
I really don’t get how there are people out there who think this is okay, or that it’s justified. How can they not see how blatantly racist this is?
