With continuing "progress" in the areas of DNA etc the time will eventually come when they will be able to tell what markers you have in your DNA for certain future ailments. Someday someone will be jailed because they didn't have their childs DNA tested and the child ended up dieing of some ailment that a test of DNA markers would have revealed.

We are already seeing people being threatened with losing their kids if they don't administer ADD/ADHD drugs to them. I am firmly against those drugs but if some teacher decided my kids was hyper I could be demanded to have them tested and if the doc decides they need psychotropic drugs... as a parent... I have no recourse but to give them the drugs or have my kids taken away from me.

If people do not believe in taking drugs then they should NOT be legally bound to do so. Societal opinion all too often trumps personal beliefs and parental authority.
Yes, I agree with this. I mean, do we ultimately trust that God knew what these people believed and do we ultimately believe that God decided when this child's (children's) life would end? Did he decide or did they.

Let me ask you another question. How many thousands upon thousands of people die every year taking prescriptions AS PRESCRIBED? They choose. Their doctors choose. Ultimately, we trust God.

We cannot say that medical intervention is God's will every time and demand others follow our beliefs. That's just wrong.
