no. fingerprinting is like denying a kid at a carnival ride with a height check.
what this thread is about is denying a kid a kindergarten spot because the dna shows their height will never get them a basketball college scholarship.

And people are made to care about things that don't actually make any sense all the time, you just gotta set up the incentives just right.
