California law says genetic testing companies have to get your permission before they store, use or sell your DNA, but the state itself doesn't have to get your permission and has been storing DNA samples from every baby born there since the '80s. Lawmakers want to change that, but face an uphill battle.

I still think I should be able to copyright my DNA and sue anyone who uses it without my informed consent, if Monsanto can do it.

Right??
