Try this creepy news from CNN : When our children were born, the hospital carried out newborn screening tests that included the collection of their DNA . I think I knew that at the time. The nurses probably mentioned it, but I was too in awe/in love/drugged up/exhausted/in pain (likely all of those things) to really think about what it could mean. The government collects your child's DNA for several reasons. To screen against and prescribe treatments for illnesses, such as cystic fibrosis . A little girl in the CNN story tested positive for that genetic disease, but after further testing, it turned out she didn't have it.

Some states will destroy the DNA after that critical testing period. Others can legally hold on to it indefinitely. Why? Sometimes they turn it over to researchers who do gene experiments on it. The scientific community loves this. They wouldn't be able to get baby DNA any other way. They're not supposed to have your baby's name attached to it without a parent's consent, but sometimes they still get a hold of those details, according to the CNN piece. That could mean so many things, but do you really want the government or health insurance companies knowing your child's entire genetic history? What if your child can't qualify for insurance some ...

Try the following. Create a test folder called “Test.” Inside that folder, create another folder called “Enclosed.” Inside the “Test” folder (next to the “Enclosed” folder), put two Files of any kind.
