Police – Accident – Death – Obituary News : A lawsuit has been filed against the New Jersey Department of Health alleging that the state’s retention of newborns’ blood samples without parental consent violates constitutional protections against unreasonable searches and seizures, as well as infringing on parental rights. The lawsuit claims that the health department does not inform parents that it plans to keep their babies’ blood samples after the health screenings are completed, and that the samples have been given or sold to third parties, including law enforcement for use in criminal investigations. The lawsuit seeks to bar the health department from keeping the blood of newborns without parental consent after testing is complete. Similar lawsuits have been filed in other states, resulting in the destruction of millions of blood samples..
