The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, and Syria have led to an urgent global missing-persons crisis, particularly exemplified by the plight of nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children taken to Russia. Investigations have revealed alarming practices of coercive adoption that threaten to erase these children's Ukrainian identities. The need for an international DNA database is highlighted to facilitate the reunification of separated families, allowing future generations to reclaim their heritage. Despite its potential benefits, concerns about privacy, state surveillance, and ethical issues related to DNA testing persist, signaling the need for careful implementation.
Conflicts like those in Ukraine, Gaza, and elsewhere intensify the missing-persons crisis, highlighting the urgent need for an international DNA database for family reunification.
Investigations reveal nearly 20,000 Ukrainian children taken to Russia, with evidence of systematic coerced adoption, erasing their identities, necessitating a DNA database for reunification.
While advocating for a DNA database to aid families, concerns regarding privacy, state surveillance, and potential injustices in the criminal system remain paramount.
In prior legal arguments, I have maintained that DNA should not be collected from individuals who have not been convicted of crimes, emphasizing safeguards against misuse.
