Texans unknowingly donate children’s blood to research
- Text size

February 23, 2009
For almost seven years, the state has been indefinitely storing blood from nearly all newborns in Texas without their parents’ consent for possible use in medical research.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The blood is collected as part of a 44-year-old state-mandated newborn screening program in which hospitals, birthing centers and midwives draw blood from a baby’s heel — parental consent isn’t required for that, either — so the state can test for a host of birth defects. The state either discarded the blood after six months or, more recently, stored it for three years before destroying it.
But starting in 2002, the state health department began collecting and keeping blood indefinitely for current or future medical research, a practice that has been the subject of a legal challenge in Minnesota.
Five dots of blood are collected on paper for the screening and then stored.
Under the health department’s policy, the samples can be used by the medical community for things like cancer research, birth defects studies and calibration of lab equipment, said Doug McBride, spokesman for the Department of State Health Services.
The law doesn’t require that parents be told how the blood might be used. But if parents are aware of the blood draws, Texas law lets them opt out only for religious reasons.

It is, and can be dangerous to allow hospitals to work on your kids. I hear mid-wifing is the way to go as of late.

My religion, The Bugga Bugga Religion (the one where the flying triangle headed fairy flys around the Universe with its magic wand creating life in each solar system) is against this practice, so my children will be exempt.

Who is this guy “grand master b”, and why is he on our site?. He sounds like a crazy racist nazi or something. is he one of these ” trolls”, or a satan worshipper. I guess some people need to feel important. Maybe he is a mason ?. I wonder why he spends his time on this site if he hates freedom so much. I do not get people sometimes.

All I have to say is that the people behind the curtain, on so many things just like this, are pure evil. Come on now, we all know that good is supposed to triumph over evil, right?! Even if you do not see a way, or you think we dont have a snowball chance in hell, we atleast know that. Our forefathers must have thought much of the same things we are thinking now. Look at their example, we defeated the mighty British Empire!! We have the skills, the heart, the determination to regain back our freedom and never let it out of our sight again, EVER! I’m here to tell you, people are waking up! The word is spreading and fast! We need to keep up the momentum! We have a helluva fight ahead of us and we need everyone uniting, EVERYONE! If you think about it for a while you’ll see that they are really no threat at all! We have that much power as a united people! Optimistic?! Sure I am, what good does it do to sit and watch them do to us whatever the hell they want, chalk it up to a lost cause and shrival in a corner somewhere just waiting for the worst to happen? We are human beings! We have always had the power. The New World Order is nothing more than a bunch of playground bullies! Just make their way obsolete! Let’s build a better way from the ground up! Start a bartering system in your neighborhood. These ‘leaders’ are nothing more than the middle man raking in all the profit in every sense of the word! We truly need to wake up and see the simplicity of it all. Of course it is only simple if we stand united! 200 people in the streets is great, shows there’s hope. Is it gonna change anything? Probably not! We need a lot more people involved! A LOT MORE! We should be warning people daily. Be patient, spread the word, find a way to warn people without conflict or arguing. Find resources that wake people up, find an organization really making a difference! Get invloved, let’s make this happen! It is happening right now, be a part of it!!!
As I see it, 2 options remain: Fear or Freedom?! Now Choose!

Well im glad Grandmaster b isn’t in on this one . He would have told you “you are dumb for having hope”, What an ass. Hey unity you just remember we are all in this together and soon the “sheeple”, will know it. For once I was one , and I woke up . Tons of others are now waking up too.

I just sent this to Ted My friend who owns Midas
I think you must be a very greedy ole man, and you do come across as a greedy Old Man sitting in a corner, collect money trading,
I want to have a add on Infowars for 2006 true 2009 silver dollars, NGC Graded Dollars only
So how would this create a move that would hurt you in sales?
You do not sell what I want to sell, and I said to Jones I would only sell NGC Graded Silver dollars,
And they think it would be a great threat to Midas,
If I has the chance to sell gold like you got to sell at Jones show, I would to, what is bad I see you as what you really are! 1st I am 63 and shopped at and dealed on Maxwell& Halstead.
My dad did well in teaching me,
I hope I won’t become a worm, as the Judah, Plus I hate Jews, as much as the 30s and 40s Germans. Poles did, I am for ridding of these people, and Maybe O will help in this effort,
Don’t you agree with putting up more Heil Furnaces in the US?
Look AIG, the Blues(BlueCross& shield)The CEO’s of Met life, All state and a few others, Are ready with the plots to get this country under the real pop, ADM & Cargill are the leaders,
Listen we won’t allow old Mr., Buffet or the wantons and Dells or bellmars to be in our class of the real people. we got it our way, Look OK!
Already we don’t need the money, that’s proof we just need the power to do 1, (ONE) thing, Rule, as we did in the 1800s
What stands out the most is My standing or sitting on a deal, or the big one My sales force gos out to buy the Gold,
That won’t work, because you are a Maddoff or the like,
Where is that sales or those buyers, Like in France or England, You know the hard to get gold,
Can I apply as a buyer in you intrest,
If so we can make double, Come on TED this is the time! Everybody is runing for bullion, Just like Good ole Germany,
Ready to shill some gold, I got some layered gold to,
Reddy! set sell!
February 23rd, 2009 at 8:09 pm
I did this because I am mad as hell! They won’t let me sell silver dollars

Do you have children? i really fucking hope you don’t.

These modern day spiritual sons and daughters of DRACO love their blood. The Bible says to abstain from blood and that the life or soul is in the blood. Well, they obviously want to control your life, to command your life blood. To rule you. Funny thing is, most of the minions who carry this crime out are to flocked up in the head to have a cogent unique thought. They can’t fathom that what they’re doing is a crime.
