Re: Texas lawmakers likely to tighten control over baby blood samples

[Guest guest]

In this same vein, I had been concerned a while back about what had happened

with DS's blood sample from when we had the PKU testing done at birth (the only

intervention we had done). In Massachusetts, where we lived at the time, they

screen for PKU and dozens of other disorders at the same time. Anyway, I

contacted the screening program and they got right back to me and sent me a form

to use to request destruction of my son's sample. They said they keep them to

screen them for diseases in the future that we don't currently have testing

for...hmmm.
