Media personality, Do2dtun has advocated for DNA test to be carried out on newborns as soon as they are born.
Taking to his X page, Do2dtun stated that DNA tests should be conducted at birth, just like other standard tests. He noted that many view DNA testing as a sensitive issue tied to trust, but he believes it’s best to know from the start.
He added that conducting DNA tests helps provide genetic information, health history, and identifies potential health concerns.
He tweeted,
“I believe DNA shld be a prerequisite immediately a child is born. The same way they carry out test on a child when they are born. It shld be seamless. It is seen as sacred cos people see it as a borderline mishap for trust but It’s best to know in the beginning & now.
The moment it’s seen as a mechanism for trust then it defeats the purpose. It was not invented to test trust. Also it produces your genetic info, your health history & things you need to look out for for example if you have a family history of hypertension, it will tell you”.
