Whatever you give to a company is not yours anymore...
Anyway, realistically, a doctor could take one baby's hair right after birth, the fact they don't already is more surprising to me.
They do, there is a wide range of genetic tests done on newborns. Mostly looking for rare genetic diseases that need treatment from birth. https://www.genome.gov/genetics-glossary/Newborn-Genetic-Screening
All children born in Sweden after 1975 have blood samples stored in a biobank. A bit scary tbh.
They got the idea from Svalbard. In case of global catastrophe.
That part is great, but I wonder how is this treated legally... I think it should be illegal to keep once tests are done.
