Listen: Can law enforcement now request your DNA from ancestry websites?
A scientific researcher extracts the RNA from embryonic stem cells in a laboratory, at the Univestiry of Sao Paulo's human genome research center, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on March 4, 2008. Brazil's Federal Supreme Court will decide tomorrow on the continuity of the embryonic stem cells research, after Roman Catholich church officials and anti-abortion groups urged to ban it, as the stem cells extraction entails the destruction of the embryo.

Listen: Can law enforcement now request your DNA from ancestry websites?

How do you feel about criminal investigators requesting your DNA from companies like Ancestry.com? That's what law enforcement officials are proposing in order to help solve crimes.

Today, Justin Barclay filled in for Pat Gray and discussed the "what if" if law enforcement begins requesting DNA  from ancestry websites before a crime is ever committed. Could this lead to bad things?

What if they attempted to obtain samples from your family members?  Consider that this practice might just become the new norm. After the podcast, you can read more about the issue here.

To see more from Pat, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “Pat Gray Unleashed” with Pat Gray weekdays 12 p.m. – 3 p.m. ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
