I AGREE with a recent letter from P. Pearce-Smith on a DNA Database.

The recent case of Sean Hodgson’s Innocence proved by DNA.

This it would seem is a good case for everybody’s DNA to be on record, as not only does it find the guilty but prove the innocent.

Why not record everybody at birth as a matter of course. If you haven’t done anything wrong what have you got to fear?
