DNA OR GENE THEFT. “Great Britain criminalized the taking of DNA without consent in 2006 … Australia’s legislature debated a two year jail sentence for such theft in 2008. In the United States, eight states currently have criminal or civil prohibitions on such nonconsensual appropriation of genetic materials. Lawsuits against “gene snatchers” are permitted in Minnesota, New Hampshire and New Mexico. In jurisdictions where such nonconsentual taking of DNA is illegal, exceptions are generally made for law enforcement.””
