Would you be amenable to a law that made collection of DNA for a national database mandatory at birth? The argument for such a registry would be significant. We could identify bodies easily which would make solving murders easier. We could identify a criminal by DNA left at the scene and immediately seek them out for arrest. We could even easily prove paternity, enabling us to catch a rapist that otherwise left no collectible evidence. See no drawbacks to such a database? There are likely millions of US citizens who would disagree with you.
What is this big "drawback" you think exists?
We already have a registry of fingerprints, and a huge database of photos from drivers licenses. I don't see how those have been abused.
What exactly are you afraid of?
