It's a very interesting debate. I think most people's first reactions would be "sure, why not" and then when points like the ones Josy raised are mentioned it suddenly becomes more complex - there are a lot of ways people could misuse your DNA sample, but then it's a bit much to just say no to such an idea because of all the potential problems with one. Personally I'm for it, I think it would do a lot to help solve crimes - even so that police can rule you out rather than nail a crime to you, they can narrow it down to people who aren't on the register etc. I would definitely register. I think David Cameron's government said they were making changes to the register but nothing's been done so it's been in limbo for the last decade.
