Gene theft
In bioethics and law, gene theft or DNA theft is the act of acquiring the genetic material of another human being without his or her permission, often from a public place. The DNA may be harvested from a wide variety of common objects such as discarded cigarettes, used coffee cups, and hairbrushes. This genetic material can then be used for purposes such as establishing paternity, proving genealogical connections or even unmasking private medical conditions.〔Harmon, Amy. Stalking Strangers’ DNA to Fill in the Family Tree. ''The New York Times'' April 2, 2007〕
==Criminal law==
Great Britain criminalized the acquisition of DNA without consent in 2006 at the urging of the Human Genetics Commission.〔Womack, Sarah. (Report urges ban on secret DNA tests ), ''The Daily Telegraph'', May 22, 2002〕〔Editorial: The Human Tissue Act, ''British Medical Journal'', Sept 9, 2006.〕 Australia's legislature debated a two-year jail sentence for such theft in 2008.〔(Australia considers DNA theft laws ) United Press International, Nov 10, 2008〕〔Smith, Deborah. Theft of DNA should be a crime: Experts, Sydney Morning Herald'', May 30, 2003〕
In the United States, eight states currently have criminal or civil prohibitions on such nonconsensual appropriation of genetic materials.〔Appel, Jacob M.
('Gene-nappers,’ like identity thieves, new threat of digital age ), ''The New Haven Register'', Nov. 5, 2009〕 In Alaska, Florida, New Jersey, New York and Oregon, individuals caught swiping DNA face fines or short jail sentences.〔Appel, Jacob M. ('Gene-nappers,’ like identity thieves, new threat of digital age ), ''The New Haven Register'', Nov. 5, 2009〕 Lawsuits against "gene snatchers" are permitted in Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Mexico.〔 In jurisdictions where such nonconsentual taking of DNA is illegal, exceptions are generally made for law enforcement.
