Does anyone watch CSI? These guys can get your DNA by just looking at you now!
Do you think people who pack the confectionary into boxes at fudge making factories tell people what they do for a living?Comment

In real life I have read studies where they try and infer certain markers by looking at you, and in others, going the other way, they can try and infer your surname from your DNA.
My favourite, that I keep mentioning, is if you like pictures of trees, forests that kinda thing, you're more likely to have a Germanic or Scandinavia background and if you find them scarey then you're more likely to be southern European.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

I do appear to have built up a collection of them. Blessed things, two year old children given wings and a combination ice pick, file, tin snips with which to set out and destroy.Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Perhaps it will get to the stage where we have Time Cops (like Minority Report I guess) who jump ahead, check out the news of crimes, then jump back and stop them happening.
Eg....Following a review of the natural lifestream of Mr X, we can see that :
Age 5 : Pulled the wings off a butterfly
Age 9 : Hit his sister in a sibling fight
Age 13: Had his 1st cigarette
Age 17: Sprayed a wall with graffit
Age 21: Got drunk and smashed a shop window
Age 27: Was paid too much change in a shop and didn't hand it back
Age 32: Dodged a fare on a train
Age 43: Kicked a dog
Age 45: etc, etc
Based on this report, we can see that Mr X is a lifetime serial offender, and as such, recommend that the foetus be terminated, or prior to that, the parents be sterilised, or prior to that the grandparents being shot, or prior to that...ad infiniteumOf all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
