'A personвЂ™s genome is a vast quantity of personal data, and no grounds justify routinely acquiring this from all citizens before they are old enough to have the capacity to provide informed consent,' he writes. Professor Curtis also said it was unethical to take the genetic data from children too young to consent. It has previously been likened to Minority Report, a 2002 film starring Tom Cruise, which saw police use technology to catch criminals before they commit crimes. Other concerns regard the potential use of the data by law enforcement who could use a genetic database to track down suspects using the DNA of their relatives, he claims. One of these is toВ discriminate people with health conditions from health insurance, something that already happens in the US. Writing in the British Medical Journal, Professor Curtis warns that once genome data exists it could be used for a variety of unethical purposes in the future we cannot predict.

Other aims of the project include understanding how genomic health data could be used to for research to develop new treatments and exploring the risks and benefits of storing an individualвЂ™s genome over their lifetime. One of these could see people with genetic disorders discriminated against by employers or health insurance companies, he said.

Some scientists say it could provide advance warning of people's genetic risk of health conditions such as cancer and heart disease years before they strike, enabling doctors to prescribe treatments as early as possible.Д«ut Professor David Curtis, an expert in genetics from the University College London, has warned projects to collect genetic data from newborns are unethical as the data could be used in unforeseen ways in the future.

The process involves storing a person's entire genetic code on a database to look for signs of rare genetic diseases, with the hope of improving the health of future generations.

More than 200,000 British newborns are to have their genome sequenced as part of a Government trial announced earlier this year.

Screening the DNA of healthy babies could lead to the data being misused and sold to private firms in the future, an expert warned today.
