Right now every baby gets the heel‑prick test (9 serious conditions like sickle cell and cystic fibrosis). It’s been around forever, and it’s highly recommended, but it’s NOT mandatory. You can say no if you want.

The new DNA genome screening (testing for 200+ rare conditions) is still in trials. It’s optional, you have to give permission, and it’s NOT replacing the heel‑prick. It won’t be forced on anyone, now or in the future.

Hadn't thought of you in a long time
But you keep sending me funny valentines
And I know you think it comes off vicious
But it's precious, adorable
Like a toy chihuahua barking at me from a tiny purse
That's how much it hurts
How many times has your boyfriend said
"Why are we always talking 'bout her?"
