In January, the government began collecting DNA from detainees at the border to ensure that families are who they say they are, but how may this act of security, result in encroaching upon our private lives.Helping us this week is Natalie Ram, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Maryland. Natalie is a top scholar on the intersection of genetic privacy and the law, publishing groundbreaking research in Harvard Law Review, Stanford Law, Columbia and many more.

Natalie Ram | Collecting DNA at the Border: A Thin Line Between Security and Privacy

Giving your DNA to one of the many commercial DNA kit companies, the ones who tell you about your family tree or your hidden health risks, sounds innocent enough, right?  But is it?   Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Natalie Ram, an assistant professor of law at the University of Baltimore Law School, to discuss these privacy issues. An expert in biotechnology, bioethics, and innovation policy, Natalie offers stern warnings to those who give away their DNA to companies like 23 and Me and Ancestry.com.    When you give away your DNA to one of these commercial, at-home, DNA testing services, you allow them, to share not only your own DNA with all those who participate in the databases, but the DNA of your close family members, including your children.  Law enforcement then can – and in some very high profile criminal investigations already has – use that data to obtain evidence that can be used to solve crimes.  The law is evolving in this cutting-edge industry, and, Natalie explains, it is crucial to understand constitutional rights that may be implicated.   As many as 60% of Americans may already be identifiable through these databases because the technology has become sophisticated enough to link a person’s immediate family members as well as distant family, like third or fourth cousins.  Join in on the conversation to learn more and decide for yourself whether you want to take the risks involved in this seemingly innocent activity.

Good Law | Bad Law #111 - If you give away your DNA, who else can access it? w/ Natalie Ram

Amy McGuire

This week on the pod I welcome Amy McGuire, the Leon Jaworski Professor of Biomedical Ethics and Director of the Center for Medical Ethics and Health Policy at Baylor College of Medicine and Natalie Ram, a Professor of Law at The University of Baltimore School of Law. Our conversation revolves around the arrest of the suspected Golden State Killer who was partially identified by a DNA match through a publicly accessible database. Legal topics range from the Fourth Amendment to HIPAA and the Common Rule as we discuss implications for personal privacy and major, DNA-led projects such as Precision Medicine.

141. How the GSK Met his DNA. Guests, Amy McGuire, Natalie Ram.
