The DNA of a seven-month-old baby girl has been added to the police's national database designed to identify criminals. The disclosure reignited the row over the growth of Britain's DNA register, which is the biggest in the world. Human rights groups accuse the Government of building a genetic record of the entire UK population by stealth. It was revealed this year that more than 100,000 DNA samples had been taken from children, aged ten to 16, who have never been charged or convicted of any crime. (Daily Mail)
